Neotype is designated for Mutilla bartholomaei Radoszkowski, 1865. Five new synonymies are proposed: Pseudophotopsis fumata Bischoff, 1920 = P. kokpetica rufothoracica Bischoff, 1920, syn. nov.; P. obliterata (Smith, 1855) = Mutilla (Ephutomma) syriaca André, 1900, syn. nov., = E. armeniaca Skorikov, 1935, syn. nov., = E. continua cyprica Hammer, 1950, syn. nov.; and Smicromyrme hierosolymitana Invrea, 1953 = S. priesneri Invrea, 1960, syn. nov. New status is proposed for three species: Physetopoda nigrithorax (André, 1902), stat. nov. (from Ph. pusilla nigrithorax (André, 1902)); Smicromyrme complecta Invrea, 1960, stat. nov. (from S. lybica complecta Invrea, 1960); and S. orientalis Nonveiller, 1959, stat. resurr. (from the secondary homonym). Three new combinations are proposed: Physetopoda pallidula (Bischoff, 1921), comb. nov. (from Smicromyrme); Ph. rufithorax (Giner Marí in Giner Marí & Suárez, 1959), comb. nov. (from Smicromyrme), and Rasnitsynitilla tetragona (Invrea, 1960), comb. nov. (from Smicromyrme). Thirteen new country records are presented: two from China, one from Bulgaria, one from Croatia, one from Russia, one from Kazakhstan, one from Uzbekistan, two from Jordan, one from Syria, one from Egypt, one from Tunisia, and one from Nepal.
