Type species. Mutilla elongata Radoszkowski 1885, ♁, by original designation.
Diagnosis. MALE. Mandible usually tridentate with large subbasal tooth beneath (S. turanica (Morawitz, 1893) with bidentate mandible and without large subbasal tooth currently is placed in Smicromyrme incertae sedis AL). Volsella with long cuspis apically often curved inside, basivolsella with large external lobe curved upward. Volsella apically and basivolsella with long suberect setae. Clypeus basally with longitudinal median carina-like elevation which flattened anterad and widened triangularly forming plate with obscure border. Mesopleuron ventrally without precoxal tooth. Metasomal bands of pale setae weaker than in Nemka. FEMALE. Pygidial plate triangularlyelongated, basally weakly curved and widened, lateral carina weakly widened apically; densely longitudinally striate, striae slightly divergent from median line. Clypeus basally with median wide tubercle compressed dorsoventrally and curved up. T2 with medial large basal spot of pale setae and apical band of such setae medially widened triangularly or not widened. T3 with band of pale setae, T4 with lateral spot or large band of pale setae.
Diversity and distribution. Seven species are recognized from the Palaearctic, including S. sanguinicollis (Klug, 1829), comb. nov. (from the genus Ephutomma), but additional species will be likely discovered in Africa among Smicromyrme species.
Remarks. Although many of these species are nocturnal, they generally have coloration more typical of diurnal Smicromyrmini. A key to the Palaearctic males was provided by Lelej and Yildirim (2009).
