Remarks. Unlike the other species treated here, Mutilla mikado is predominantly a Palaearctic species and only occurs in a few Oriental areas of China. In some older papers (e. g., Chen 1957), this species was treated as a subspecies of Mutilla europaea Linnaeus, 1758. More recently, Mutilla europaea was recorded as a parasite of Bombus breviceps Smith, 1852, in Yunnan, China, but the mutillid in question was later determined to be Mutilla mikado , which is the only Mutilla species known to occur in Oriental regions of China.
