All,

I'm looking for papers with accounts of mutillids (velvet ants) parasitizing flies, and vice versa. Any mention of this, even if it's just a short note, is of interest.

I'm also after papers on mutillids parasitizing other orders such as Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Blattaria oothecae, and possibly others (excluding Hymenoptera). I have most of the literature that a Hymenopterist can find, so any help finding obscure papers that only a specialist on another order would know of would be very helpful.
