Type locality. “ Persia borealis ” (Heyden, 1883). According with the labels of types, we consider as the restricted type locality “Schakuh”, a village of north eastern Iran, now named Schaku, positioned between Gorgan (the late Astrabad), in the Golestan province) and Shahrud (also Romanized as Shāhrūd, Shahrood, Shahroud, and Shārūd), in Semnan Province.

Type specimens. The three female syntypes of this species were examined ( DEI). We designed as Lectotype, one female, with the following labels: (silver, squared, small); “ parumpicta orig!. Heyd.” (white, rectangular, handwritten probably by L. von Heyden,); “ Syntypus ” (red, rectangular, handwritten, not original); (orange, squared, small, without writing); “ DEI coll. Von Heyden” (white, rectangular, printed); “ DEI Muncheberg col. 02803” (green, rectangular, printed); “ Zonabris parumpicta Heyd. ” (white, rectangular, handwritten, not original).

Paralectotype: 1 female with the following labels: paper label with extracted genitalia; “Schakuh Staudgr.” (white, rectangular, handwrittem); “ DEI coll. Von Heyden” (white, rectangular, printed); “ DEI Muncheberg col. 02804” (green, rectangular, printed). Paralectotype: 1 female, with the following labels: “Schakuh Staudgr.” (white, rectangular, handwrittem); “167” (white, squared, small, handwritten); “ DEI coll. Von Heyden” (white, rectangular, printed); “ DEI Muncheberg col. 02805” (green, rectangular, printed); (orange, squared, small, without writing).

We added the following labels to all types: “ Lectotypus (and Paralectotypus respetively) ♀, Zonabris parumpicta Heyden, Z. Pan & M. Bologna des. 2013” (red, rectangular, printed and handwritten); “ Mylabris (Mylabris) parumpicta (Heyden) , Z. Pan & M. Bologna det. 2013” (white, rectangular, printed and handwritten).

Description. Body length: 14.5–15.5 mm; setae uniformly black, but mixed golden and black on legs; antennomeres I–II black, III–VI dark reddish, antennomere III less than twice as long as IV, XI slightly less than twice as long as wide ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 A); pronotum without fore transverse depression; elytra with two basal black spots, one complete middle fascia, with sub-rectilinear margins, and usually one narrow apical fascia ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 B); mesosternum as Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 C.
