Kurzenkotilla visrara ( Cameron, 1898)

Mutilla visrara Cameron, 1898: 1 , ♀, syntypes, ♀, Trincomali, Ceylon, R.A. Yerbury leg. [ Yerburgh ] coll. [ Sri Lanka], [ OUMNH]; André 1902: 41, ♀ .

Kurzenkotilla visrara: Lelej 2005: 35 , ♀; Pagliano et al. 2020: 225.

Material examined. INDIA: Rajasthan: Bharatpur , VIII.1985, A. Riedel leg. , 1♀ [ IBSS]; Jaipur , 21.IV.1945, 1♀ [ UMMZ] ; Chandigarh: Sukhna Lake , 15.X.2007, Sk. Yamane leg. , 1♀ [ IBSS] .

Distribution. * India (Rajasthan, Chandigarh), Sri Lanka.

Remarks. Although AL examined large volumes of mutillid material from Sri Lanka, the female of Mutilla visrara was not discovered there. Possibly, the type locality of this species is wrong. The late Børge Petersen, who studied most of the types of Cameron’s Oriental species, wrote AL (Petersen, in litt., 1980), that several of Cameron’s mutillid species described from Sri Lanka are likely based on material from outside of Sri Lanka.
