Distribution. China (Fujian, Yunnan), Thailand (new record) (Chaiyaphum, Chiang Mai, Loei, Phitsanulok).

Remarks. The holotype was collected by Prof. Tsing-Chao Maa in Fujian [former Fukien], Shaowu, Shui Pei Kai. In 1946, T.C. Maa left mainland China and moved to Taiwan, in 1958–1975 he worked in the Bishop museum in Hawaii ( Hämäläinen 2004). During his Fujian years (1939–1945), Maa worked in different agricultural organizations in Lienching, Chungan and Shaowu and as a lecturer in the department of biology of Fukien Christian University in Shaowu. While in Chungan [currently Wuyishan City] he collected a large number of insects in the "Bohea Hills" in 1939–1940; while in Shaowu, he collected mainly in "Tachulan" [Dazhulan], but also elsewhere in Fujian ( Hämäläinen 2004). The depository of T.C. Maa's personal collection (TM) of Mutillidae is unknown. Possibly his collection is deposited in Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute Taipei ( Maa 1950; Taeger et al. 2010).
