You seem to be describing a "basso seguente."

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Continuo Question
We know that continuo players often played with the treble players
before the bass entrance because of the many examples of figures in
the colla parte parts. The figures show many things, but the two
that
jump out are first that
these parts are not cues because they have figures, but also that
the
chords were played sometimes very high. In some music, this can be
doone with a four foot stop on an organ or harpsichord, although
generally it is done with the upper range of the keyboard.

Not that I'm an expert, but what I was taught concerning continuo
with
fugues is
a) that continuo doesn't start before the 3rd entry
and
b) that when there's no bass, there's no continuo.
