According to the Marcello, italian expert on mutillids, this is:
Dasylabris maura clausa

He put these features to split the species D. maura:

D. maura maura () - Females with a transverse band of white, dense pubescence between the upper part of the eyes: the band does usually touch the eyes.

D. maura clausa - Females with a subcircolar spot of white pubescence on the upper frons: the spot does not touch the eyes.
