Dasymutilla flammifera is a species of velvet ant found along the Pacific coast of North America and inland to Idaho and Arizona.[1][2]
This species was first described by American entomologist Clarence E. Mickel in 1928.[3][4] Per Mickel, D. flammifera females are "very dark mahogany red, the pubescence of the head, thorax, and abdomen above scarlet; length, 13 mm" and are similar to Dasymutilla sackenii except for "the sculpture of the genae," coloration, and the fuzz on the femora. The type species was collected near Claremont, California.[4]: 240–242
