Mutilla perelegans Cameron, 1897: 59, ♀, ♂, type locality: Ceylon [Sri Lanka], syntypes in OUMNH; Bingham 1897: 8, 9, 41, ♀, ♂ (Western and Southern India, Tenasserim). Odontomutilla perelegans: Hammer 1962: 2, ♀ (Pakistan: Punjab); Lelej 2005: 116, ♀, ♂. Diagnosis. FEMALE. Head ferruginous. T1 medially without spot of pale setae. T 2 in basal half with one spot of pale setae; sides of T2 broadly fringed with pale golden setae dorsally. T3 with non interrupted band of pale setae. MALE (see Cameron 1897). Head ferruginous. T 2 in basal two thirds without band or spots of pale setae. Pronotum, mesonotum and mesoscutellum, except apex, with dense long black setae. Material examined. Sri Lanka, 1 ♀, Eastern Province. Trincomalee District: Trincomalee, China Bay, 0–100 ft, 27–31.I.1977, K.V. Krombein, P. Fernando, D.W. Balasooriya, V. Gunawardane // Odontomutilla perelegans (Cam.), B. Petersen det. [NMNH]. Distribution. Sri Lanka: Eastern Province (Fig. 36). Remark. The syntypes (female and male) of Mutilla perelegans were collected by Colonel John William Yerbury (1847–1927) in Trincomalee [Sri Lanka]. In spite that this species was recorded as widely distributed in India and Myanmar (Tenasserim, currently Tanintharyi Region) we retain the records supported by the examined specimen.
