Hymenoptera Aculeata Mutillinae Smicromyrmini Oriental taxonomy

Abstract

Sinotilla calopoda sp. nov. (Indonesia, Jawa Barat) and S. ohbayashii sp. nov. (China, Fujian) are described and illustrated based on females. A key to species (females) of the genus Sinotilla is given. The importance of head shape for taxonomy is discussed.
