It's Minthoini alright, but there are more genera on Cyprus. I'm not sure it is Mintho, can't see the wing venation enough. Theo |

I don't see an appendix, so it's probably NOT Mintho. Theo |

I just noticed, the black vittae on thorax are clearly narrower than in Mintho. So it is Minthodes or Pseudomintho (I''m not pulling your leg !) Theo |

Love those names So we can have real Mintho or "False Mintho" or "Looks like a Mintho but isn't quite"

thanks for these pics, but we need a wing venation so unfortunately these don't help Theo |
