Holotype, ♂, Indonesia: Lombok, near Senggigi, 450 m, forest, 8º28ʹ31.9ʺS 116º2ʹ57.8ʺE, 9.V 2012 (MM). Paratypes, same data as holotype, 1♂; same place, 21.V 2012, 2♂ (MM). DIAGNOSIS. MALE. Forewing with two submarginal cells. Mesosoma ferruginous with black pronotum. T2 entirely black. S2 without longitudinal median carina. S8 with well developed subbasal lateral carinae which are not connected. FEMALE. Unknown. DESCRIPTION. Body length 5.6–10.4 mm. Mandible tridentate with subbasal denticle on inner border. S6 with small lateroapical tubercle. S8 (hypopygium) with well developed subbasal lateral carinae which are not connected. DISTRIBUTION. Indonesia (Lombok). ETYMOLOGY. The specific name is dedicated to the famous hymenopterist Clarence Mickel (1892-1982), who made important contributions to the study of Oriental Mutillidae. Treat as a noun in apposition. REMARKS. In the key of Sutanto et al. (2021) this species ends in couplet 1 (Bischoffitilla palaca (Cameron, 1902)) because of forewing with two submarginal cells, but differs from it by T2 with black apical part (T2 with a narrow, pale yellow, integumental stripe at apical margin in palaca). In the key of Mickel (1935) this species ends in couplet 18 (Squamulotilla teuta teuta (Mickel, 1934)) with T2 entirely black and mesosoma largely ferruginous, but differs by S2 without longitudinal median carina and pronotum black (S2 with longitudinal median carina and pronotum ferruginous in teuta).
