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 :D So we can have real
Mintho or "False
Mintho" or "Looks like a
Mintho but isn't quite" :D
