This study of Czech and Slovak Mutillidae consists of two parts: the identification key includes all 20 Czech and Slovak species, and also 9 other species with distribution areas reaching neighbouring Hungary, Austria, and Ukraine. Graphics of determination characters are included. The annotated checklist reviews the state of knowledge on all species of Mutillidae reported from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Notes on the distribution, biology, hosts, lists of localities and distribution maps of all Czech and Slovak species are presented. Physetopoda cingulata (Costa, 1858) and P. pusilla (Klug, 1835) are published for Slovakia for the first time; and Smicromyrme sicana (De Stefani, 1887) first for Bohemia. These new records enlarge the number of Mutillidae recorded in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to 16 and 19 species, respectively.
