In this study, the blister beetles belonging to the Hycleus sexmaculatus species group are revised. Morphological characters are described and figured for each species and keys to both male and female are provided. Hycleus hayki new species from Southwest Iran is described and the following new synonymies are proposed: Mylabris triangulifera ab. reitterioides Mader 1929 = Hycleus bipunctatus (Olivier, 1811) new synonymy; Mylabris triangulifera ab. bushirensis Mader 1929 = Hycleus bipunctatus (Olivier, 1811) new synonymy; Mylabris javeti Marseul, 1870 = Hycleus colligatus (Redtenbacher, 1850) new synonymy; Mylabris javeti umbilicatus Kaszab, 1958 = Hycleus colligatus (Redtenbacher, 1850) new synonymy; Hycleus amrishi Makhan, 2012 = Hycleus cingulatus (Faldermann, 1837) new synonymy. Additional remarks which rectify previous errors in the identification of the species are provided. The taxonomic positions of Zonabris soumacovi Pic, 1930 and Zonabris sialanus Pic, 1929 are also discussed. Phylogenetic relationships of the species, based on a subset of available species inferred from molecular data are proposed, and some morphologically defined subgroups of species are distinguished with the molecular support. The geographic and ecological distributions of all the species are defined, and a detailed list of localities is provided. The ecological information including phenology, elevation and host plants of the species are summarized in a table. Based on literature records, collections and recently collected data, the distribution of the sexmaculatus species and their biogeographic characteristics are discussed.
在本研究中，对属于六斑芫菁物种组的芫菁进行了修订。描述并绘制了每个物种的形态特征，并提供了雄性和雌性的检索表。描述了来自伊朗西南部的新物种海基芫菁，并提出了以下新的同义关系：三角斑芫菁雷氏亚种Mylabris triangulifera ab. reitterioides Mader 1929 = 双斑芫菁（奥利弗，1811）新同义关系；三角斑芫菁布什尔亚种Mylabris triangulifera ab. bushirensis Mader 1929 = 双斑芫菁（奥利弗，1811）新同义关系；爪哇芫菁Mylabris javeti Marseul，1870 = 聚纹芫菁（雷滕巴赫，1850）新同义关系；爪哇芫菁脐斑亚种Mylabris javeti umbilicatus Kaszab，1958 = 聚纹芫菁（雷滕巴赫，1850）新同义关系；阿姆里什芫菁Hycleus amrishi Makhan，2012 = 带纹芫菁（法尔德曼，1837）新同义关系。还提供了纠正先前物种鉴定错误的补充说明。还讨论了1930年的苏马科维氏带角芫菁Zonabris soumacovi Pic和1929年的锡亚拉努斯带角芫菁Zonabris sialanus Pic的分类地位。基于从分子数据推断的部分可用物种，提出了该物种的系统发育关系，并在分子支持下区分了一些形态学定义的物种亚组。定义了所有物种的地理和生态分布，并提供了详细的地点列表。物种的生态信息，包括物候、海拔和寄主植物，汇总在一个表格中。基于文献记录、标本采集和最近收集的数据，讨论了六斑芫菁物种的分布及其生物地理特征。
