EENY-170 Ladybirds, Ladybird beetles, Lady Beetles, Ladybugs of Florida, Coleoptera: Coccinellidae1 J. H. Frank R. F. Mizell, III2 Introduction Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary," and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates Figure 1. Adult Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, the to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry sevenspotted lady beetle. Credits: James Castner, University of Florida mention ladybird, perhaps the most familiar in English being the children's rhyme: Now, the word ladybird applies to a whole Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home, family of beetles, Coccinellidae or ladybirds, not just Your house is on fire, your children all gone... Coccinella septempunctata. We can but hope that newspaper writers will desist from generalizing them In the USA, the name ladybird was popularly all as "the ladybird" and thus deluding the public into americanized to ladybug, although these insects are believing that there is only one species. There are beetles (Coleoptera), not bugs (Hemiptera). many species of ladybirds, just as there are of birds, and the word "variety" (frequently use by newspaper 1.

The species recorded belong to three genera (Paracoelopterus, Serangium and Pharoscymnus) out of three tribes (Microweiseini, Serangiini and Sticholotidini). The largest and least numbers of species were found in the genera Pharoscymnus and Serangium, respectively. Among the species, Pharoscymnus ovoideus and Serangium montazerii were the most frequently recorded. Among provinces, Fars province had most records.

  • Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Influence of Subelytral Ultrastructure
    Experimental & Applied Acarology, 23 (1999) 97–118 Review Phoresy by Hemisarcoptes (Acari: Hemisarcoptidae) on Chilocorus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): influence of subelytral ultrastructure M.A. Houck* Department of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409–3131, USA (Received 9 January 1997; accepted 17 April 1998) ABSTRACT The non-phoretic stages of mites of the genus Hemisarcoptes are predators of the family Diaspididae. The heteromorphic deutonymph (hypopus) maintains a stenoxenic relationship with beetles of the genus Chilocorus. The mites attach to the subelytral surface of the beetle elytron during transport. There is variation in mite density among species of Chilocorus. Both Hemisarcoptes and Chilocorus have been applied to biological control programmes around the world. The objective of this study was to determine whether subelytral ultrastructure (spine density) plays a role in the evolution of symbiosis between the mite and the beetle. The subelytral surfaces of 19 species of Chilocorus and 16 species of Exochomus were examined. Spine density was determined for five subelytral zones: the anterior pronotal margin, medial central region, caudoventral tip, lateral distal margin and epipleural region. Spine density on the subelytral surface of Chilocorus and Exochomus was inversely correlated with the size of the elytron for all zones except the caudoventral tip. This suggests that an increase in body size resulted in a redistribution of spines and not an addition of spines. The pattern of spine density in Exochomus and Chilocorus follows a single size–density trajectory. The pattern of subelytral ultrastructure is not strictly consistent with either beetle phylogeny or beetle allometry. The absence of spines is not correlated with either beetle genus or size and species of either Chilocorus or Exochomus may be devoid of spines in any zone, irrespective of body size.

  • New Data on Some Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) from Iran
    Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica Hungarica 53 (1), pp. 83−90 (2018) DOI: 10.1556/038.52.2017.035 First published online April 13, 2018 New Data on some Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) from Iran R. ABDOLAHI1*, O. NEDVĚD2 and J. NOZARI1 1Department of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran, Karaj, P.O.Box 31587-77871, Iran 2Faculty of Science, Institute of Entomology, Biology Center, University of South Bohemia, Branišovská 31, 37005 České Budějovice, Czechia (Received: 4 October 2017; accepted: 3 November 2017) A species of ladybird beetles: Coccinella leonina transversalis Fabricius, is newly recorded from Iran. Identification keys to Iranian species of the genera Coccinella Linnaeus,, 1758, Pharoscymnus Bedel, 1906, subgenus Scymnus s.str. Kugelann, 1794 and redescription of Pharoscymnus horni (J. Weise, 1901) are given. Keywords: Ladybird, ladybug, new record, key, redescription, Iran. So far, 142 species of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) have been recorded from Iran (Abdolahi et al., 2016). The only attempt with respect to identification key to Iranian lady beetles has been done by Abdolahi et al. (2017), which presents keys to Iranian genera of the former sub- families Chilocorinae, Coccinellinae, Epilachinae and Microweiseinae. This paper pro- vides an updated key to five Iranian species of the genus Coccinella Linnaeus, 1758, a key to eight Iranian species of the genus Pharoscymnus Bedel, 1906 and twelve species of the subgenus Scymnus s.str. Kugelann, 1794. Coccinella leonina transversalis Fabricius, 1781 (tribe Coccinellini) is recorded as new to Iran, and Pharoscymnus horni (J. Weise, 1901) is redescribed. Materials and Methods The samples were collected during April 2014 and 2015 by sweeping, in two prov- inces: Hormozgan and Kurdistan.

  • Proceedings of the First National Conference on Zoology
    1 Biodiversity in a Changing World Proceedings of First National Conference on Zoology 28-30 November 2020 Published By Central Department of Zoology Institute of Science and Technology, Tribhuvan University Kathmandu, Nepal Supported By “Biodiversity in a Changing World” Proceedings of the First National Conference on Zoology 28–30 November 2020 ISBN: Published in 2021 © CDZ, TU Editors Laxman Khanal, PhD Bishnu Prasad Bhattarai, PhD Indra Prasad Subedi Jagan Nath Adhikari Published By Central Department of Zoology Institute of Science and Technology, Tribhuvan University Kathmandu, Nepal Webpage: www.cdztu.edu.np 3 Preface The Central Department of Zoology, Tribhuvan University is delighted to publish a proceeding of the First National Conference on Zoology: Biodiversity in a Changing World. The conference was organized on the occasional of the 55 Anniversary of the Department from November 28–30, 2020 on a virtual platform by the Central Department of Zoology and its Alumni and was supported by the IUCN Nepal, National Trust for Nature Conservation, WWF Nepal and Zoological Society of London Nepal office. Faunal biodiversity is facing several threats of natural and human origin. These threats have brought widespread changes in species, ecosystem process, landscapes, and adversely affecting human health, agriculture and food security and energy security. These exists large knowledge base on fauna of Nepal. Initially, foreign scientist and researchers began explored faunal biodiversity of Nepal and thus significantly contributed knowledge base. But over the decades, many Nepali scientists and students have heavily researched on the faunal resources of Nepal. Collaboration and interaction between foreign researchers and Nepali researchers and students are important step for further research and conservation of Nepali fauna.

Myrmecophiles are species that usually have developed specialized traits to cope with the aggressiveness of ants enabling them to live in their vicinity. Many coccinellid species are predators of Hemiptera; the latter is also often protected by ants. Therefore these ladybirds frequently interact with ants, and some species have become myrmecophilous. In this paper, we aim to provide an overview of the evolution of myrmecophilous traits in ladybirds.
