Three new Papuan species of the ladybird genus Rhyzobius Stephens, albinos sp. nov., R. atramentarius nov. and serratus are described, diagnosed illustrated. An updated key to from New Guinea is provided.
The ladybird genus Empia was established by Weise in 1901 to accommodate a single species, vittata from Sri Lanka. Since its description, the has attracted very little attention, and systematic position modern classification of subfamily Coccinellinae remained unclear. Here we provide revisionary study based on type non-typical material E. vittata, description new indica sp. nov. Tamil Nadu, South India, which is first report India. Lectotype for designated. Habitus female genitalia are...
Examination of Coccinellidae material recently collected from Napo Province in Ecuador revealed 38 species ladybird beetles, which six are new: Chnoodes yanayacu sp. nov., Cyrea mcclarini Eupalea borowieci Exoplectra misahualli Hyperaspis rutai Toxotoma gonzalezi nov. Seven recorded for the first time Ecuador: noticollis (Mulsant, 1850), formosa Mulsant, 1850, Epilachna transverselineata (Mader, 1858), Psyllobora marshalli Crotch, 1874, fuscopilosa (Weise, 1902), taeniola (Gordon, 1975),...
The genus Coccidula Kugelann includes five species distributed in the Holarctic, with one North America and four Palearctic region. belongs to tribe Coccidulini which historically was treated as a separate subfamily within ladybird beetles, but recent studies confirmed its placement broadly defined Coccinellinae. All are revised new synonymy of Lithophilus naviauxi Duverger C. litophiloides Reitter is proposed. Light electron microscopy pictures support morphological descriptions. An...
The ladybird genus Vedalia was established by Mulsant in 1850 to accommodate a single species sieboldii Mulsant. Since its description the attracted little attention, and systematic position modern classification of subfamily Coccinellinae remained unclear. Here we provide revisionary study based on type non-type material from various collections. Male female genitalia are illustrated for first time, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) illustrations key characters also provided. Position...
Two new species of the Oriental coccinellid genus Monocoryna: Monocoryna jadwiszczaki sp. nov. and M. bukidnon from Philippines, are described, diagnosed illustrated. nicolebertiae Ślipiński & Jadwiszczak, originally known a single male, is redescribed based on series specimens both sexes.

Abstract Species of the endemic New Zealand ladybird genus Adoxellus Weise, 1895 are revised. Male and female genitalia illustrated for first time, a key to species, images larva pupa distribution map provided. A lectotype Scymnus flavihirtus Broun, 1880 neotype picinus designated.
The herbivorous ladybird genus Merma Weise was regarded as an African endemite, however, recent examination of the type material two Malagasy species Epilachna hovana Sicard,1908 [now (Sicard,1908)] and Peralda quadriguttata Sicard, 1909 (Sicard, 1909)], revealed they also belong to that genus. Here further three new from Madagascar, M. ankarana sp. nov., antakotako nov. fisheri are described, diagnosed illustrated. An updated key Madagascar is provided.
