MATERIAL EXAMINED. Holotype, ♀, Indonesia, Lombok, Senggigi, hotel Alang Alang, 8º28ʹ58.6ʺS 116º2ʹ12.9ʺE, 16.V 2012 (MM) [IBSS]. Paratype, Lombok, near Senggigi, 450 m, forest, 8º28ʹ31.9ʺS 116º2,96ʹE, 18.V 2012, 1♀ (MM) [IBSS].
DIAGNOSIS. FEMALE. T2 disc spots large and separated by less than spot diameter, yellowish T2 band broad and bilobed, yellowish T3 band entire, and pygidium smooth. MALE. Unknown.
DESCRIPTION. FEMALE. Body length 6.5-7.2 mm. Head black, except antennal tubercle, scape, clypeus and mandible partly reddish brown. Mesosoma and coxae ferruginous, remainder of legs blackened. Metasoma black, except T1 basally dark red and S1 ferruginous. Body setae generally sparse and silvery, except frons black and mesosomal dorsum with interspersed erect silvery and reddish setae; T2 disc, T4-5 setae densely black; and vertex, T1 apex, T2 disc lateral spots, T2 apical broadly bilobed band, T3 entire and T6 basal tuft with dense yellowish setae; T2 lateral spots diameter 1.2 × distance between spots. Head. Width behind eye 1.1 × width of pronotum. Frons, vertex and gena punctures dense to confluent. Mandible apex bidentate. Clypeus apically bidentate, lateral tooth a broad triangular lamella; basomedial portion anterad with robust tubercle. Antennal scrobe with straight lateral carina. Genal carina weak, obscured by punctures and setae. F1 1.5 × pedicel length, F2 1.25 × pedicel length. Mesosoma. Length 1.25 × width. Dorsum of mesosoma with coarse confluent punctures; weak interrupted carina separating dorsal and lateral faces of mesonotum. Side of mesosoma with dense micropunctures and short setae. Mesopleural lamella with indistinct interrupted carina. Humeral carina simple. Scutellar scale posteriorly rounded, ~3 punctures wide, surrounded by few interconnected tubercles. Posterior propodeal face reticulate, lateral and posterior propodeal faces separated by row of teeth. Metasoma. S1 with longitudinal lamella. T2 felt line 0.35 × total length of T2. T6 with long subovate pygidium, with lateral carina; smooth throughout.
DISTRIBUTION. Indonesia (Lombok).
ETYMOLOGY. I am happy to name this species for my colleague, Mikhail Mokrousov, authority in sphecoid wasps, who collected most of mutillid wasps in Lombok. Treat as noun in apposition.
REMARKS. A new species is similar to Krombeinidia chang Williams, 2019 from southern Thailand but differs in pronotum narrower than propodeum (as broad as propodeum in chang), head with only black setae (occiput, temple and lower frons with sparse yellowish setae in chang), reddish brown legs (black in chang). In the Williams et al. (2019) key, this species ends at couplet 34 because metasoma uniformly black and T2 apical band broadly bilobed.
