 It's Minthoini alright, but there are more genera on Cyprus.
I'm not sure it is Mintho, can't see the wing venation enough.

 I don't see an appendix, so it's probably NOT Mintho.

 I just noticed, the black vittae on thorax are clearly narrower than in Mintho. So it is Minthodes or Pseudomintho (I''m not pulling your leg !)

 Love those names Grin So we can have real Mintho or "False Mintho" or "Looks like a Mintho but isn't quite" Grin
