Citation: Brothers DJ, Lelej AS (2017) Phylogeny and higher classification of Mutillidae (Hymenoptera) based on morphological reanalyses. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 60: 1–97. https://doi. Abstract This study aimed to resolve the differences in the two currently used classifications of Mutillidae, which differ in many respects. Cladistic analyses of 101 genera and subgenera of Mutillidae (represented by females of 253 species and males of 260 species) and four outgroups (pepsine Pompilidae, anthobos-cine Tiphiidae and both fedtschenkiine and sapygine Sapygidae) based on 230 morphological characters treated in various ways, produced most-parsimonious trees which were in broad agreement but differed in many details. Evaluation of these results led to the proposal of a compromise tree which reflected each proposed taxon as monophyletic, while trying to keep disruptions to the current classifications to a minimum. The result differs from both previous classifications, and proposes the recognition of eight subfamilies: Myrmosinae (with the tribes Kudakrumiini and Myrmosini), Pseudophotopsidinae, Rho-palomutillinae, Ticoplinae (with the tribes Smicromyrmillini and Ticoplini), Sphaeropthalminae (with the tribes Sphaeropthalmini, Dasymutillini trib. n., and Pseudomethocini with the subtribes Euspinoliina subtrib. n. and Pseudomethocina), Myrmillinae, Dasylabrinae (with the tribes Apteromutillini trib. n. and Dasylabrini) and Mutillinae (with the tribes Ctenotillini trib. n., Smicromyrmini, Mutillini with the subtribes Ephutina and Mutillina, and Trogaspidiini). Notably, Myrmosinae were consistently strongly supported as monophyletic with the remaining Mutillidae (disagreeing with a recent molecular analysis), and thus retained as a mutillid subfamily. The placements of all currently valid genera and subgenera in the proposed classification are provided.

A. jeoffreyi Alekseev, 1993 is redescribed. Aulacus japonicus
Konishi, 1990, A. uchidai Turrisi & Konishi, 2011, and
Pristaulacus intermedius Uchida, 1932 are newly recorded
from Russia. Pristaulacus chlapowskii Kieffer, 1900 is ex-
cluded from the fauna of Russia, its distribution being re-
stricted to South and Central Europe. Aulacus striatus Ju-
rine, 1807 is newly recorded from Belarus and Kazakhstan.
A key to eight species from the Russian Far East and two
species from adjacent territories is given.
Jurine, 1807 and three species of the genus Pristaulacus
Kieffer, 1900 is given. A new species A. larisae sp.n. from
Kunashir Island and Primorskii Krai is described and new
synonymy is proposed for A. flavigenis Alekseev, 1986

Four species, Myrmosa a. atra Panzer, Mutilla europaea Linnaeus, M. marginata Baer, and Smicromyrme (Smicromyrme) rufipes (Fabricius) are recorded from Belarus and three species, Paramyrmosa brunnipes (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau),... more
Four species, Myrmosa a. atra Panzer, Mutilla europaea Linnaeus, M. marginata Baer, and Smicromyrme (Smicromyrme) rufipes (Fabricius) are recorded from Belarus and three species, Paramyrmosa brunnipes (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau), Myrmilla (Pseudomutilla) glabrata (Fabricius), and Physetopoda halensis (Fabricius) are expected to be find in Gomel' Province. For each recorded species material, general distribution, hosts, biotopical preferences and seasonal dynamic are given. The mutillid fauna of Eastern Europe comprises by 49 species in 15 genera. Because of mutillid wasps are thermophilic group the number of species dramatically reduced from south to north. The cluster analysis of faunal similarities among ten countries and regions of Eastern Europe produce two major clusters (index similarity 0.24): 1) South European territory of Russia, Crimea and Ukraine and 2) North and Central European territories of Russia, Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The UPGMA cluster analysis demonstrates the important boundary between zones of steppe and nemoral forest of Euro-Siberian subgerion of the Palaearctic. The ordination of mutillid fauna in the Eastern European countries showed the trend which reflects the latitudinal differences between the faunas of steppe and nemoral forest zones of Eastern Europe.

Kozlov (1994) established a new parasitic proctotrupoid family, Renyxidae, for a single species, Renyxa incredibilis, from Primorskij Krai, in the Russian Far East. A new genus and species, Hsiufuropronia chaoi, was described from China, Beijing (Yang 1997) in the family Roproniidae. Lelej and Kozlov (1999) noticed that Renyxa was preoccupied and was initially used by Kurochkin and Slankis (1973) for a genus of flatworms (Cestoda: Litobothridae). According to Articles 39, 60 of the Code (ICZN 1999), the names of the genus and family were changed to Proctorenyxa Lelej & Kozlov, 1999 (Lelej & Kozlov 1999). He et al. (2002) transferred Hsiufuropronia from Roproniidae to Proctorenyxidae
