Abstract

Information is provided for 346 genus-group names used in Mutillidae, including 53 unavailable names: eight nomina nuda, seven lapsus calami, 36 incorrect subsequent spellings and two not considered valid when proposed. Of the 293 available names, 238 are currently considered valid: 208 of these are generic and 30 are subgeneric, 161 are known from both sexes, 40 from males only and 30 from females only (for the other seven one sex is uncertainly associated); of the 55 invalid names, 12 are objectively invalid (eight junior homonyms, four junior objective synonyms), 42 are junior subjective synonyms and one is a nomen dubium. Gender, type species and kind of fixation, taxonomic history and status, sex association, and distribution data are given for each available name. The following new nomenclatural acts are included: Wallacidia Lelej & Brothers gen. nov. (type species Mutilla oculata Fabricius, 1804) is proposed for Radoszkowskius sensu Lelej, 1996, 2005; Mutilla triguttata Lelej & Brothers nom. nov. is proposed for Mutilla africana André, 1895 (not Gistel, 1848); Peringueyella Nonveiller & Ć etković, 1995 and Peringeyotilla Nonveiller & Ć etković, 1997 are synonymized with Acanthomutilla Nonveiller, 1995 syn. nov. which is raised to generic status; Paralletilla Pagliano, 2005 is synonymized with Ronisia Costa, 1858 syn. nov.; Mutilla lobicornis André, 1907 is synonymized with Mutilla argenteopicta Sichel & Radoszkowski, 1869 syn. nov.; Pristomutilla curtispinosa Bischoff, 1921 and Lophotilla makalanga Bischoff, 1920 are synonymized with Lophotilla comparanda Bischoff, 1920 syn. nov.; new combinations are proposed for Apteromutilla aethra (Péringuey, 1899), comb. nov. (from Mutilla), Ceratotilla feminaeformis (Bischoff, 1920), comb. nov. (from Myrmilla), Ceratotilla inalata (Bischoff, 1920), comb. nov. (from Myrmilla) and Trogaspidia cooki (André, 1895), comb. nov. (from Mutilla and Timulla). Lectotypes are designated and illustrated for Ischioceras rugosa Provancher, 1882 (female) and illustrated for Mutilla simplicifascia Sichel & Radoszkowski, 1869 (female).

    André, E. (1902c [“1903”]) Fam. Mutillidae. In: Wytsman, P., Genera Insectorum, Fasc. 11. Bruxelles, 77 pp. + 3 pls. [André’s treatment of Mutillidae in Wytsman’s Genera Insectorum (fascicle 11) has consistently been considered to have been published in 1903. The title page for the volume, including fascicles 1‑11, gives the dates 1902‑1903, and it is a reasonable assumption that fascicle 11 was published last. The cover of fascicle 11 also has 1903 printed on it. There are various strong pieces of evidence indicating that it was actually published in 1902, however. The copy of the fascicle in the library of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) has the pencil notation ‘In.34 ‑‑ 1902’ on the first page, presumably indicating its receipt during 1902. The fascicle is also referred to in the volume of The Zoological Record which deals with literature published in 1902 (vol. 39, XIII. Insecta, p. 6, item 25 and p. 79; 1903). More significantly, it is listed as having been published in 1902 in the Bibliographie de Belgique (vol. 29, part 3, p. 72, No. 411; 15 February 1903) along with the second part of fascicle 10 and the first part of fascicle 12. The last part of fascicle 10, the second part of fascicle 12 and fascicle 13 are listed later that year (vol. 29, parts 11‑12, p. 216, No. 1260; 15‑30 June 1903) as having been published in 1903, explaining the range of dates given for the volume as a whole. The date of publication of fascicle 11 must thus be considered to be no later than 31 December 1902.]
