Mylabris flexuosa is a species of blister beetle, belonging to the Meloidae family. [1]
This species is present in Southern Europe (Andorra, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland), in Russia and in Central Asia. [2] [3] It mainly inhabits prairies.
Mylabris flexuosa can reach a length of 10–12 millimetres (0.39–0.47 in). [3] Head, antennae, pronotum and legs are black, while elytra show yellow and black bands and markings. It has an extensive and easily seen pubescence.
This species is similar to Mylabris variabilis .
Pearl millet is the most widely grown type of millet. It has been grown in Africa and the Indian subcontinent since prehistoric times. The center of diversity, and suggested area of domestication, for the crop is in the Sahel zone of West Africa. Recent archaeobotanical research has confirmed the presence of domesticated pearl millet on the Sahel zone of northern Mali between 2500 and 2000 BC.
Hycleus polymorphus is a species of Blister Beetles belonging to the family Meloidae subfamily Meloinae.
Mylabris is a genus of beetles in the family Meloidae. It is endemic to the Palearctic realm. The species-rich genus Hycleus was historically confused with Mylabris. It is superficially similar, but is centered on the Afrotropics.

Berberomeloe is a genus within the tribe Lyttini of the family Meloidae, the oil or blister beetles. It includes two species, the red-striped oil beetle, Berberomeloe majalis, and the less flamboyant Berberomeloe insignis.
Berberomeloe majalis, the red-striped oil beetle, is an insect in the genus Berberomeloe, in the family of Blister Beetles. It is native to the western Mediterranean Basin.
Ceroctis capensis, or spotted blister beetle, is diurnal and endemic to Southern Africa occurring in diverse habitats, and belonging to the Meloidae or Blister beetle family. It secretes a toxic liquid from its leg joints when roughly handled, blistering human skin. This species somewhat resembles Mylabris oculata, a member of the same family.
Hycleus pustulatus is a species of blister beetle belonging to the Meloidae family found in South Asia. Adults feed mainly on flowers from a wide range of plant families. The first larval instar is an active triungulin form that is a predator of soft insects such as aphids. While the young are often beneficial to crops by suppressing other plant feeders, the adults can be a problem when present in large numbers. Flower feeding leads to lower yield and this can be a problem in some leguminous crops. They are however easily controlled by manual collection.
Pyrota is a genus of blister beetles in the family Meloidae. There are at least 30 described species in Pyrota.
Cysteodemus is a genus of desert spider beetles in the family Meloidae. There are at least two described species in Cysteodemus.
