Mutilla erronea André, 1900, ♂, by original designation (junior subjective synonym of  Mutilla curtiventris André, 1901 according to Pagliano &amp; Strumia (2007: 69), resurrected to valid species by Lelej &amp; Yildirim (2009: 15).</p><p>Diagnosis. MALE. Inner eye margin with weak notch. Mandible strongly widened apically, quadridentate, rarely tridentate, beneath with large subbasal tooth; preapical inner teeth equal to apical one or larger than it. Clypeus concave, anterior border usually with protruding medial part. Stigmatic cell 1.4 × distance between base of stigmatic cell and origin of base RS on Sc. T2 with long lateral felt lines, S2 with short (reduced) lateral felt lines. FEMALE. Head not widened posterad, posteriorly rounded. Mandible tridentate. Meso- and metafemur with two row of well developed setae. Pronotum with protruding humeral part, distinctly wider than propodeum. Scutellar scale more or less developed. T2 with one or three basal spots of pale setae, rarely with basal band of pale setae. Pygidial area widely triangular, carinated laterally, surface with divergent striae.</p><p>Sex association. The female of the type species was associated and identified (as  Mutilla curtiventris André, 1901: 269) by Pagliano &amp; Strumia 2007: 69; and collected in copula in Turkey (Lelej &amp; Yildirim 2009).</p><p>Species-groups included. ErrОПеа,  dichroa and  saharica species-groups are proposed here. For diagnosis see the key to the species below.</p><p>Diversity and distribution. Twenty species (11 based on males only, four based on females only, and five known from both sexes) are recognised predominantly from the Palaearctic Region; there are six Afrotropical species (two of which penetrate from the Palaearctic); and  Dentilla irana Lelej, 1985 and  D. malinka (Nurse, 1903) occur in the Palaearctic and Oriental Regions.</p><p>Remarks. All but two of the species are dull brown in color and apparently nocturnal in their behavior. These nocturnal species are somewhat commonly encountered in arid habitats from North Africa east to India (Lelej 2002, 2005). The more colorful diurnal species occur mainly in the Mediterranean (Lelej 2002). Lelej’s (1985) key includes about half of the currently recognized species.</p><p>Key to the species of  Dentilla</p><p>Males</p><p>(unknown in  arabica,  malinka,  socotrana, and  speciosa)</p><p>1.

According to Articles 11 and 12.1 of the ICZN (1999),  Mutilla erronea André, 1900 is an available specific name. A full description of this species is given on pages 360–362 [dated 1902].</p><p>For a long time I followed the synonymy of  Smicromyrme curtiventris (André, 1901) (=  S. errana Nonveiller, 1958) proposed by B. Petersen (1988). When I examined the holotype of  Mutilla curtiventris André, 1901 in the NHMW in 2011, I understood that this synonymy is wrong and  M. curtiventris belongs to the genus  Skorikovia Ovtchinnikov, 2002, where it becomes  a new junior subjective synonym of  S. trinotata (Costa, 1858) . Such a form with a shortened metasoma is already known for this species ( S. pouzdranensis Hoffer, 1936).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/277E1331FFAAFFA0FF432146FB031233	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The holotype of Мutilla  quinquedentata Morawitz, 1890 from Repetek is not found in the ZIN where the Morawitz collection is deposited. This holotype is probably lost. In the ZIN collection there are 7♂ from Nerduali, Sulfagar, Peskimar collected by D. Glasunov in the Transcaspian region and northern Iran and Dus-olum collected by J. Pomerantsev in south-western Turkmenistan, all are with Morawitz identification label " 5-dentata F.Mor., ♂ ". They cannot be syntypes (Lelej 1985), because they were collected by D. Glasunov in 1893 (after the description of М.  quinquedentata) (Semenov 1896). Børge Petersen (unpublished) labelled the holotype of  Ephutomma quinquedentata mesopotamica Bischoff, 1920, ♂ in MNHU as  Dentilla dichroa (Sichel et Radoszkowski, 1869) . As this synonymy has not yet been published, I hereby support it and propose it as  a new synonymy.</p><p>The female of  D. dichroa (Sichel et Radoszkowski, 1869) may eventually be recognized as  D. sabulosa (Skorikov, 1935) due to its co-occurrence in Iran: Sistan and Baluchestan Prov. and especially Fars Prov., 50 km NNE of Shiraz, Bamoo Res., 29°45ʹN 52°46ʹE, 18–28.V.2000, Yu. Marusik, 1♀ and 2 ♂. There is no direct evidence (pair collected in copula) to support this relationship.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/277E1331FFA9FFAFFF4323E1FD5C1553	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(6♂ 21♀).   Type material. Holotype, ♂, Iran, Isfahan,  Kashan, 34°01'37.98"ʹN 51°21ʹ19.86"E, 975 m, 16.IX.2013, R. Dehghani [IBSS].  Paratypes, 5♂ and 21♀ with the same label [IBSS] .</p><p>Distribution. Iran (Isfahan).</p><p>Etymology. This species is dedicated to Rouhullah Dehghani, who studied the importance of this species for human health and natural history in central Iran and collected the type series.</p><p>Natural history. (Dehghani et al. 2018, Kassiri et al. 2021). During 2013–2015, 49 individuals stung by velvet ants in the residential areas of Kashan were studied. The identification of the stinging agent was made according to the morphological speciation of the insect samples collected in the houses of the injured. Stinging complications in individuals were studied according to the clinical manifestation and the time of stinging, which was from June to September. The stinging agent was identified as velvet ants,  Dentilla sp. [ Dentilla dehghanii sp. nov. AL].</p><p>The first sign of the sting was a severe and sharp pain. The highest percentage of redness in individuals was 47% on the first day, and the lowest was 2% four or five days after the sting. Intense itching was one of the main symptoms of velvet ant stings. In the final stages of pain and itching, signs of hemolysis and bruising were observed as brown spots. Due to the high number of stings in the carpet weaving workshops, living rooms and bedrooms, it was concluded that this wasp is a domestic pest.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/277E1331FFA5FFAAFF43254FFD0317D0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
