Abstract
Based on synapomorphic character states in the parastigmal area of the fore wing, the genus Mesocoelus is transferred from the Orgilinae to the Agathidinae. Placement in the Orgilinae is rejected because of the presence of these synapomorphies and the absence of a subapical notch on the ovipositor, a derived character state found in all known members of the Orgilinae.
