Type species Mutilla fluctuata Smith, 1865 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. MALE.Head robust,rounded posterad,frons longitudinally striate,vertex densely punctate.Mandible robust, tridentate apically, deeply excised beneath, forming large subbasal, dorsal margin medially elevated. Clypeus convex, with median longitudinal carina, anterior margin protruding and shallowly emarginated. Ocelli small, POD 3.7 × posterior ocellus diameter, ocellar area slightly elevated. Scape distinctly bicarinate beneath. F1 equal its maximal width. Tegula not protruding beyond axillae. Parascutal carinae well developed and highly elevated. Notauli full, parapsidal furrow short. Scutellum simple. Mesopleuron without precoxal tubercles. Metacoxa mesally carinate. Wings subhyaline, stigmatic cell 0.7 × distance between base of stigmatic cell and origin of RS on vein Sc. T2 with long, S2 with short lateral felt line. T7 without median impunctate area. S8 densely punctate. Genital volsella widened basally, with long narrow cuspis; basivolsella with external, extremely long, strong setae; volsella with long, parallel setae on inner margin and a few longer ones on apex. FEMALE. Unknown.

Diversity and distribution. One species, based on males only, is recognized from the Philippines.

Remarks. This species is similar in appearance to many other Oriental genera, like Mickelomyrme ( Fig. 38 ), but has large, dilated mandibles like Dentilla ( Figs 12, 16 ) and Ephutomma ( Fig. 23 ).
