Guineomutilla Suárez, 1977: 219, figs 6, 7, ♀; Lelej & Brothers 2008: 25; Brothers & Lelej 2017: 95, ♀; Pagliano et al. 2020: 173.
Phalacromyrme Nonveiller in FAO, 1975, nom. nud. Unavailable name (Article 13 of the Code), replaced by Guineomutilla Suárez, 1977 in Nonveiller, 1980: 63.
Type species: Guineomutilla mateui Suárez, 1977, by original designation.
Diagnosis. MALE. Unknown. FEMALE. Head transverse, subtrapezoidal-rounded in dorsal view, slightly convex in front and vertex, somewhat narrowed behind eyes and wider than mesosoma. Eyes large, occupying most of the sides of the head, convex, oval. Mesosoma elongated and sub-rectangular, with sub-rectilinear anterior and lateral borders, anterior slightly arched and lateral ones converging backwards, with some unremarkable sinuosity, humeral angles well pronounced at slightly acute angle. Longitudinal profile of mesosoma arched with moderate propodeal slope. Scutellar scale lacking. Metasoma with first segment much narrower than next, but joining it without true constriction; T1 with distinct anterior and dorsal surfaces, upper edge of the truncation projecting in the center above. T2 without any pale design, T3 with band of whitish setae. T6 with pygidial plate convex non sculptured, in apical half weakly carinated laterally.
Diversity and distribution. The genus is Afrotropical and known from females only. Only one species is formally described, but four species from Cameroon were named by Nonveiller (1980; Nonveiller in FAO 1975), but never described (nomina nuda).
Remarks. This genus very similar to and must be closely related to Promecilla; it differs in the shape of T1, which has distinct anterior and dorsal surfaces (gently sloping in Promecilla).
