Dasymutilla vesta (red Florida form)
Moved from Dasymutilla archboldi. Newer research has shown that what was thought to be the male of D. archboldi is actually D. vesta (Williams et al., 2012: Systematic review of the Dasymutilla monticola species-group (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae): using phylogenetics to address species-group placement and sex associations. Zootaxa 3554)
