The Dasymutilla paradoxa species-group is newly proposed to include taxa formerly included in the genera Dasymutilla Ashmead, 1899, Traumatomutilla André, 1901 and some previously incertae sedis. This species-group now includes the following eight species: D. fasciventris Mickel, D. guanacaste Manley & Pitts, D. naranjo Manley & Pitts, D. paradoxa (Gerstaecker), comb. nov., D. paraparadoxa, sp. nov., D. phya (Cameron), comb. nov., D. relata (Cameron), and D. sliepniri Manley & Pitts. Dasymutilla paraparadoxa Luz, Bartholomay & Williams, sp. nov. (Mexico, Guatemala) is described and illustrated. New synonymy is proposed (valid names are first) for: Dasymutilla fasciventris Mickel, 1938 (=Dasymutilla citromaculosa Manley & Pitts, 2007, syn. nov., =Dasymutilla chamela Manley & Pitts, 2007, syn. nov.); Mutilla paradoxa Gerstaecker, 1874 (=Sphaerophthamla [sic!] icaris Cameron, 1895, syn. nov.); Sphaerophthalma [sic!] phya Cameron, 1895 (=Sphaerophthalma [sic!] melissa Cameron, 1895, syn. nov.). The key to species is given.
新提出的奇异绒蚁物种组包含以前归入1899年的绒蚁属(Dasymutilla Ashmead)、1901年的创伤绒蚁属(Traumatomutilla André)以及一些以前分类地位不确定的分类单元。这个物种组现在包括以下八个物种:束腹绒蚁(D. fasciventris Mickel)、瓜纳卡斯特绒蚁(D. guanacaste Manley & Pitts)、纳兰霍绒蚁(D. naranjo Manley & Pitts)、奇异绒蚁(D. paradoxa (Gerstaecker),新组合)、拟奇异绒蚁(D. paraparadoxa,新物种)、菲娅绒蚁(D. phya (Cameron),新组合)、关联绒蚁(D. relata (Cameron))和斯列普尼尔绒蚁(D. sliepniri Manley & Pitts)。描述并图示了新物种拟奇异绒蚁(Dasymutilla paraparadoxa Luz, Bartholomay & Williams)(墨西哥、危地马拉)。提出了新的同物异名(有效名称在前):束腹绒蚁(Dasymutilla fasciventris Mickel,1938)(=柠檬斑绒蚁(Dasymutilla citromaculosa Manley & Pitts,2007),新异名,=查梅拉绒蚁(Dasymutilla chamela Manley & Pitts,2007),新异名);奇异绒蚁(Mutilla paradoxa Gerstaecker,1874)(=伊卡里丝球眼蚁(Sphaerophthamla [原文有误!] icaris Cameron,1895),新异名);菲娅球眼蚁(Sphaerophthalma [原文有误!] phya Cameron,1895)(=梅利莎球眼蚁(Sphaerophthalma [原文有误!] melissa Cameron,1895),新异名)。给出了物种检索表。
