Hello Cosmin,

If no one else would help Mylabris quadripunctata

Hi Cosmin,
actually this is Mylabris (Mylabris) quadripunctata a common species distributed from Portugal to China. I am working on the revision of the nominate subgenus with both molecular and morphological characters. We discovered 5 new species and several complex situations, so I think we will need some months to compete this revision.
Ciao, Marco
