With nearly 200 described species, Traumatomutilla André, 1901, is one of the most speciesrich Neotropical Mutillidae genera and an excellent subject for evolutionary, biogeographic,
and behavior studies. With the exception of the type localities, there is no data as to the
occurrence of the species of this genus in the Brazilian Amazon, with Casal (1969) being the
last study to address the taxonomy of this genus in the region. Despite different authors
having compared and assigned Traumatomutilla species to different species groups over the
years, such groups have never been formally established. Adittionally most characteristics that
define the species groups are based on highly variable setal and coloration patterns. Because
of the outdated information regarding this group in the region and the importance of
Traumatomutilla species as subjects for applied studies, the present study aimed to update the
information regarding the taxonomy and geographical distribution of Traumatomutilla in the
Brazilian Amazon as well as to establish the species groups within the genus using structural
characteristics and listing the species belonging to each species groups. A species catalogue
for the Brazilian Amazon based on the literature and specimens collected in the region is
provided. An identification key for the Traumatomutilla species groups is also provided along
with a brief diagnosis for each group and the species assigned to them. Five new species are
described, and Traumatomutilla integella (Cresson, 1902), Traumatomutilla verecunda
(Cresson, 1902) and Traumatomutilla tabapua Casal, 1969 are redescribed. Fourteen species
groups were established within Traumatomutilla, including 121 of the 142 valid species and
subespecies described based on the females. As well as the new species and species groups,
42 other species of Traumatomutilla were found, three of which are being recorded for the
first in Brazil, ten are being recorded for the first time in the Brazilian Amazon and 23 have
had their distribution in the region expanded. |
