Type locality. “ Chypre ” ( Marseul, 1883).

Type specimens. Lectotype male ( MNHN), with the following labels: “ Chypre, coll. de Marseul 2842-90 ” (white, rectangular, printed); “ Mylabris Madoni Mars Type ” (white, rectangular, handwritten by S. de Marseul); “Escherich vid. 1899” (white, rectangular, handwritten by K. Escherich); “Museum Paris coll. De Marseul 1890” (white, rectangular, printed); “ Lectotypus Mylabris madoni Marseul, M. Bologna des. 1987” (red, rectangular, handwritten by M. A. Bologna); “ Mylabris (s.str.) madoni Marseul, M. Bologna det. 1987” (white, rectangular, handwritten by M. A. Bologna).

Paralectotype, 1 male ( MNHN), with the following labels: “ Mylabris Madoni , Chypre, Ms. 83” (yellow, round); Museum Paris coll. De Marseul 2842-1890 (white, printed); “Museum Paris coll. De Marseul 1890” (white, rectangular, printed); “ Paralectotypus Mylabris madoni Marseul, M. Bologna des. 1987” (red, rectangular, handwritten by M. A. Bologna); “ Mylabris (s.str.) madoni Marseul, M. Bologna det. 1987” (white, rectangular, handwritten by M. A. Bologna).

We examined at MNHN the type of the unvalid form lividiana, which was clearly described as an aberration, and one specimen with the identification label “ Mylabris trarmenias ”, which represents a nomen in litteris.

Description. Body length: 11–15.5 mm; setation of head, pronotum, and ventral side mixed yellow and black, that of elytra almost completely black; antennomeres reddish, VIII–XI almost brown-orange, antennomere III less than 1.5 times as long as IV, apical antennomeres only slightly widened, XI ca. twice as long as wide ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 A); pronotum without fore transverse depression; elytral black pattern ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 B) without apical fascia, with two subequal sub-rounded spots on basal third, one middle greatly sinuous narrow fascia and one subapical bisinuate wider fascia; mesosternum as in Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 C; male gonoforceps slender in lateral view ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 E), fused ventrally in basal half ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 D); distal hook of aedeagus relatively close to apex, proximal hook relatively far from the distal one ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 F).

Taxonomic remarks. Probably related to M. olivieri because of male genitalia structure, reddish apical antennomeres, and elytral black pattern.

Distribution. Endemic to Cyprus Island.
