Valid name Basalys quadridens (Kieffer, 1912) comb. nov. Summary of types Holotype ♀ , BMNH number 9.674, by monotypy. Primary type data Type/ H.T.; Mahe , ’08-9/ Seychelles Exp.; Microgalesus / quadridens/ J.J.Kieffer/ type . Type locality Seychelles , Mahé , Cascade Estate. Remarks Kieffer based his description on one specimen, hence a holotype by monotypy. The holotype is mounted on a card point; the head, right hind wing and parts of the legs are lost; the right fore wing is disarticulated. The triangular stigmalis, three-segmented antennal club, notauli represented by a weak trace, and form of the propodeum are typical of Basalys . The absence of the basal vein is not surprising since the specimen is so small. The beak-like mandibles, anteriorly indented head with teeth, and the transverse petiole are known in other representatives of this genus. Microgalesus quadridens is here transferred to Basalys . Since M. quadridens is the type species of Microgalesus , Microgalesus is now a junior synonym of Basalys syn. nov.
