The data on the first record of harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) in Ryazan, Tula, Tver, Oryol, Orenburg regions and the Udmurt Republic are presented. On the studied parts of invasive distribution area of H. axyridis, the development of two generations is recorded. H. axyridis winters during imaginal diapause, gather- ing in large groups. The date of the migratory flight varies from early September to mid-October. Many bugs die of starvation during the postwintering period. Overwintering specimens of Harmonia axyridis (after mass expansion to European part of Russia in 2018–2019) were recorded in many regions in 2020: Kursk, Penza, Samara, Saratov, Volgograd, Astrakhan regionns, the Republic of Mordovia, Tatarstan and Chuvash Republic. Key words: Harmonia axyridis, harlequin ladybird, multicolored Asian ladybird, invasive species, fauna, new records. Acknowledgements. We are grateful to Ju. V. Volkova (Ulyanovsk, Russia) and O. V. Sinichkina (Saratov, Russia) for providing specimens of Harmonia axyridis. The research of A. S. Sazhnev was funded by the Russian Science Foundation, Project No 16-14-10031.

Vol. 5 (4), 2020 Аннотация. Впервые данные по азиатской божьей коровке (Harmonia axyridis) приводятся для Рязанской, Тульской, Тверской, Орловской, Оренбургской областей и территории Республики Удмуртия. На исследо- ванных участках инвазионного ареала H. axyridis зарегистрировано развитие двух поколений. В период има- гинальной диапаузы H. axyridis зимуют, собираясь большими группами. Сроки перелета на зимовку варьиру- ют от начала сентября до середины октября. Многие жуки погибают от голода после зимовки. Перезимовавшие (после массовой экспансии в Европейской части России в 2018–2019 гг.) особи Harmonia axyridis отмечены в 2020 г. для Курской, Пензенской, Самарской, Саратовской, Волгоградской, Астраханской областей, а также Республики Мордовия, Татарстана и Чувашии.
