Abstract

Sphaeropthalma pinedai sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae), an endemic species of Chile is described and illustrated by gender. S. pinedai represents the first record for South America of a Mutillid species with brachypterous males. A list of Mutillidae species from America with brachypterous or apterous males is given.
