Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
