In this paper the authors give a new characterization of Möbius transformations with respect to \(\lambda\)-Apollonius points of \((2n-1)\)-gon. For a \((2n-1)\)-gon \(Z=Z_1Z_2\cdots Z_{2n-1}\) in the complex plane, where \(Z_i\) denotes a vertex, and for \(\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots , \lambda_{2n-2})\), where \(\lambda_i \in \mathbb R^+\), a point \(L\in \mathbb C\) is called a \(\lambda\)-Apollonius point of \(Z\) if the equality \[ | L-Z_1| \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} | Z_{2i}-Z_{2i+1}| =\lambda_{k-1} | L-Z_k| \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} | Z_{2i+k-1}-Z_{2i+k}| \] holds for \(k=2,\ldots , 2n-1\). The authors show that if \(f(z)\) is an analytic univalent function on a domain \(R\), then the following is a necessary and sufficient condition for \(f(z)\) to be a Möbius transformation: for every \((\lambda,Z,L)\), where \(L\) is a \(\lambda\)-Apollonius point of the \((2n-1)\)-gon \(Z\) contained in \(R\), \(f(L)\) is also a \(\lambda\)-Apollonius point of the \((2n-1)\)-gon with vertices \(f(Z_i)\), \(i=1,\ldots ,2n-1\).
