Frigitilla panamensis Cambra, Brothers & Quintero sp. nov., from Panama, based on females, is described and illustrated. This new species represents the northernmost distribution record for the Neotropical genus Frigitilla Williams in Bartholomay et al., 2015. New synonymy and combination are proposed for Frigitilla simulatrix (F. Smith, 1879), comb. nov. =Mutilla frigidula Cresson, 1902, syn. nov. A lectotype is designated for Mutilla simulatrix F. Smith, 1879. The differentiating characters for the genus are briefly discussed.

Color traits are highly influenced by environmental conditions along the distributional range of many species. Studies on the variation of animal coloration across different geographic gradients are, therefore, fundamental for a better understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape color variation. Here, we address whether color lightness in velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) responds to latitudinal gradients and bioclimatic variations, testing three ecogeographic rules: The Thermal melanism hypothesis; the Photoprotection hypothesis; and Gloger's rule.
