(Figs 32–35)

Mutilla semiviolacea André 1896: 17, ♁, type locality “Himalaya” [India], [HNHM]; André 1902: 41; Ramakrishna 1916: 541.

Storozhenkotilla semiviolacea: Lelej et al. 2007: 56, ♁; Terine et al. 2020a: 3; Pagliano et al. 2020: 236.

Material examined. INDIA: Agra, 2.III.1958, 1♁ [NSMT] ; PAKISTAN: Margalla Hills National Park, 20.VI.2005, Malaise trap, H. Khurram & M. Fida, 1♁ [IBSS] .

Distribution. Pakistan, India (Himalaya).

Remarks. In both color and structure, this species is similar to K. rufodorsata, comb. nov. Based on similarity to S. aurofasciata, Lelej et al. (2007) transferred the species to Storozhenkotilla . The species, however, lives outside the range for other species in Storozhenkotilla and more closely resembles K. harmandi and K. annamensis in coloration, and clypeal and pygidial morphology, so we here transfer the species to Kurzenkotilla .
