The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the name Bagauda Bergroth, 1903 (type species Bagauda avidus Bergroth, 1903) for a genus of thread-legged assassin bug from Afrotropical and Oriental Regions, by giving it precedence over the senior generic name Pleias Kirkaldy, 1901 (type species Pleias ritsemae Kirkaldy, 1901).
