Unknown Mutillid - Dasymutilla archboldi - Female
Lake Wales, Polk County, Florida, USA
July 27, 2007
Size: 7 mm
I am not sure of this mutillid. Any specifics would be appreciated. This is such a confusing group. If anyone can help me find a key to FL mutillids, I would be grateful as I have many photos without any ID.

I would say D. archboldi
Based on coloration, locality, and what I can tell from the propodeum and scutellar area, I would call this D. archboldi. As far as I know this is a new one for bugguide.

Probably D. cypris
I'm leaning towards D. cypris, but I would wait for Kevin or Will to confirm it.
