Are these not Cleridae?

No, no, Meloidae.
I have keys for Aragonian species but is almost impossible identify these beetles by pictures, due to the enormous colour variation adn the microscopic diferencial characters.

Mylabris s. l. Now are divided into Mylabris and Hycleus, but I'm not agree with this (it's silly! only if the pronotum have a suture, are Hycleus, but some Mylabris s. str. can have also a suture...)
