Zusammenfassung: | Cephalomutilla André, 1908, a genus of velvet ants (Mutillidae), currently composed of 11 species previously recognized from females only, is here revised. A new species from Colombia, C. cabezona Williams, sp. nov., is recognized from both sexes and newly described. The previously unknown male of C. zelichi Casal, 1963 is associated and described. Mutilla vulnerifera André, 1908, syn. nov., is recognized as the male of C. haematodes (Gerstaecker, 1874), and the following species are recognized as synonymous colour variants of C. haematodes: C. albicalcaris Mickel, 1960, syn. nov.; C. argyrosticta (Burmeister, 1875), syn. nov.; and C. flavigastra Mickel, 1960, syn. nov. Cephalomutilla proxima (Smith, 1879), comb. nov., is transferred to Cephalomutilla, and the following species previously recognized from females only were recognized as conspecific with C. proxima: C. confluenta Mickel, 1960, syn. nov.; C. distincta Mickel, 1960, syn. nov.; C. fasciata Mickel, 1960, syn. nov.; C. transversa Mickel, 1960, syn. nov.; and C. vivata (Cresson, 1902), syn. nov. Keys and illustrations are provided for all five currently valid species of Cephalomutilla. |
