The genus Odontomutilla was described by Ashmead in 1899 based on the type species Mutilla saussurei Sichel et Radoszkowski. Thirty four valid species of this genus are reported from the Oriental Region of which eleven species from the Indian subcontinent (Lelej, 2005). The species Odontomutilla speciosa (Smith) is so far recorded from China. In this paper, we report O. speciosa for the first time from the Indian subcontinent based on the specimen collected from Maharashtra, India. Since the original description is not sufficient for the proper identification of the species, detailed redescription with sufficient photographs is provided here. A checklist of the species of the genus Odontomutilla from the Indian subcontinent is also provided.
