- Basalys Westwood, 1833: 343. Type species Basalys fumipennis Westwood, 1833 by monotypy.
- Loxotropa auctt. nec Förster, 1856.

Notes
Other generic synonyms are omitted from the above list for simplicity. A diagnosis and detailed description of Basalys was given by Masner and García (2002)[1], hence, only a brief diagnosis is given here. Further information on synonyms can be obtained from Johnson (1992)[2].
Diagnosis
Small, smooth and shining wasps; head and mesosoma with long scattered hairs; antennal shelf usually distinctly prominent; female antenna 12-segmented, with strongly abrupt 3- or 4-segmented clava; male antenna 14-segmented with A4 distinctly modified; fore wing with submarginal vein slightly remote from fore margin of wing, costal vein absent, stigmal vein often moderately developed, basal vein always present in macropterous forms, straight, usually strongly pigmented, perpendicular to but never contiguous with submarginal vein.
Remarks
We discovered that the type species of Geodiapria, that is G. longiceps, is a Basalys, a synonym of B. rufocinctus (see below) and so Geodiapria becomes a junior synonym of Basalys syn. nov.
