Remarks. Zonabris calida var. baicalica Pic, 1919 was included in the intraspecific variation or synonymy of Mylabris calida ( Pallas, 1782) ( Sumakov 1930; Bologna 2008). After the examination of the type of Z. calida var. baicalica , we found that its frons lacks red spots, antennomere XI is sub-ovoid, with blunt apex (such as Fig. 20 ), and ventrite V is totally black. So, we considered it as a junior synonym of M. aulica .

Mylabris aulica was poorly known until now and usually named as M. calida in the Chinese literature ( Tan 1986; Yuan et al. 1988; Ma et al. 1991; Guo 1994; Tan et al. 1995; Lei & Zhou 1998; Zhu et al. 1999; Pan et al. 2010a, b, 2011b, 2013b; Wang et al. 2013). M. aulica could be easily distinguished from M. calida by the shape of antennomere XI: sub-ovoid with blunt apex in M. aulica ( Fig. 20 ); and sub-fusiform, with pointed apex in M. calida ( Fig. 21 ).
