The genus Mutilla, which originated with Linne in 

 1758, contained eight species including occidentalis L., 

 europaea L.. and acarorum. L. 



In 1779 Bhimenbach cited occidentalis L. as the typical 

 exponent of Mutilla, while Lamarck (1801) designated 

 europaea L. as the Type, and was followed by Latreille 

 (1802-10), Curtis (1825) and Westwood (1840)". 



It should be noted that Miiller [Zool. Dansk. Prod. An. 

 166 no. 1938 (1776)], in a merely local list of a limited 

 fauna, mentions one species only as a Mutilla, viz. acarorum. 

 L., but this, even if it were the citation of a Type, could 

 not be maintained, for acarorum (a Pezomachus) was only 

 doubtfully included in Mutilla by Linne : (" Haec differt 

 a reliquis quod glabra nee tomenfosa sit, & videtur potius 

 Sphex aptera esse ").
