The genus Aglaotilla Brothers, gen. nov., is described for 14 striking species of Australian Mutillidae related to Ephutomorpha André, 1902, characterized by bright metallic coloration and strong punctation. The description of both sexes is possible through sex associations revealed by rearings from mud nests and trap nests. Both sexes of the type species, Ephutomorpha submetallescens Turner, 1916, are described and illustrated, the male for the first time. New combinations and a new name are proposed, as follows: Aglaotilla aeruginosa (Smith, 1879), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. australis (André, 1898), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. cuprea (André, 1901), comb. nov., stat. nov. (from Mutilla); A. dilecta (Turner, 1916), comb. nov. (from Ephutomorpha); A. ignita (Smith, 1855), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. metallica (Smith, 1855), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. mira (André, 1895), comb. nov. (from Mutilla (Sphaerophthalma [sic.])); A. nigroaenea (Smith, 1855), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. picturata (Turner, 1914), comb. nov. (from Ephutomorpha); A. semicuprea (André, 1898), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. submetallescens (Turner, 1916), comb. nov. (from Ephutomorpha); A. viridatis (Smith, 1855), comb. nov. (from Mutilla); A. viridiaurea (André, 1895), comb. nov. (from Mutilla (Sphaerophthalma [sic.])); A. discolor Brothers, nom. nov. (= Ephutomorpha aeneidorsis Turner, 1916, not Ephutomorpha lauta var. aeneidorsis André, 1903).
描述了新属Aglaotilla Brothers,包含14种引人注目的澳大利亚蚁蜂科物种,它们与1902年的Ephutomorpha André相关,其特征为明亮的金属色泽和明显的刻点。通过从泥巢和诱捕巢饲养所揭示的性别关联,可以描述两性特征。描述并图示了模式种Ephutomorpha submetallescens Turner 1916的两性,雄性为首次描述。提出了新组合和新名称,如下:Aglaotilla aeruginosa (Smith, 1879),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. australis (André, 1898),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. cuprea (André, 1901),新组合,新异名(源自Mutilla);A. dilecta (Turner, 1916),新组合(源自Ephutomorpha);A. ignita (Smith, 1855),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. metallica (Smith, 1855),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. mira (André, 1895),新组合(源自Mutilla (Sphaerophthalma [原文如此]));A. nigroaenea (Smith, 1855),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. picturata (Turner, 1914),新组合(源自Ephutomorpha);A. semicuprea (André, 1898),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. submetallescens (Turner, 1916),新组合(源自Ephutomorpha);A. viridatis (Smith, 1855),新组合(源自Mutilla);A. viridiaurea (André, 1895),新组合(源自Mutilla (Sphaerophthalma [原文如此]));A. discolor Brothers,新名称(= Ephutomorpha aeneidorsis Turner, 1916,非Ephutomorpha lauta var. aeneidorsis André, 1903)。
