It is also probable that Fahraeus' species is not identical with M. my ops,

parts which had not been entomologically explored at the time of Dejean. 
Mylabris beuqueti, Mars., 
Plate XXIII., fig. 10. 
Monogr., p. 410. 
Body very elongated ; prothorax more deeply punctate than in the 
previous species, the punctures uneven and sub-scrobiculate in the 
posterior part of the disk ; elytra piceous, each one with a minute basal 
dorsal yellow spot and no lateral one, or without the basal spot, 
anterior band yellow, narrow, not quite as broad near the outer margin 
as it is at the suture, posterior one either of the same width as the anterior 
or a little broader from the suture to about the middle, and narrowed 
thence to the outer margin, the width being reduced there to about one- 
half, the hind edge has either a very slender brownish margin, or a not 
very distinct, somewhat broad band of the same colour; legs and under 
side very closely aciculate. 
Length 29-32 mm. ; width 9|~10 mm.

Marseul {loc. cit.) has indicated rather than described the species.

part to the margin, and with the hind border moderately deeply scooped 
out in the centre, posterior band orange-yellow, somewhat slanting, broader
