Treatment

Mylabris (Chalcabris) bistillata Tan, 1981 stat. rev.

Mylabris bistillata Tan, 1981: 407 . Type locality: Markam , Xizang, China. Type depository: IZCAS.

Hycleus bistillatus: Bologna, 2008: 385 .

Material examined from Xizang. None.

Distribution. China: Xizang ( Bologna, 2008) (Gonjo ( Tan, 1981; Wang et al., 2003), Jomda ( Tan, 1981; Wang et al., 2003), Markam ( Tan, 1981; Wang et al., 2003)), Sichuan.

Remarks. Bologna (2008) transferred this species to the genus Hycleus . However, according to its original description, this species should be transferred back to the genus Mylabris , subgenus Chalcabris .

Additionally, we reexamined some nominated specimens (not from Xizang) from Prof. Tan ( IZCAS), which are actually the misidentification of Mylabris (Chalcabris) splendidula (Pallas, 1781). Thus, the validity of M. bistillata should be reconfirmed after reexamined the types.
