SPECIES INCLUDED AND DISTRIBUTION. This genus is composed of 103 valid species and 20 valid subspecies distributed mainly in the Afrotropical and Oriental Regions, with a few species in the Australian and Palaearctic Regions ( Pagliano et al., 2020); of these, 30 species and two subspecies were reported from the Oriental Region. The genus Odontomutilla was unknown from Myanmar and I describe an unusual species, resembles Trogaspidiini, from this country.
