Bassettia is a genus of gall wasps found in North America.

Taxonomic history

This species was circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1887. Ashmead named the genus after "Mr. H. F. Bassett, of Waterbury, Conn., who has done so much towards advancing our knowledge of these intricate Hymenopters". Two species were included in the genus's initial circumscription: B. floridana, which Ashmead described in the same work, and B. tenuicornis,[1] which Bassett had described earlier, placing in the genus Cynips.[2]

Ashmead later designated B. floridana as the genus's type species.[3][4]

Species

A 2007 revision of the genus by G. Melika and W. G. Abrahamson recognizes the following eight species in this genus:[4]

Subsequent changes include the addition of:

Former species

Melika and Abrahamson transferred or restored these species from Bassettia to Callirhytis Foerster, 1869 in 2002.[6][4] They had been included in Weld's 1951 taxonomy of Bassettia.[7]
