Coccinella trifasciata (Walbaum, 1792) | |
Coccinella trifasciata, the three-banded lady beetle, is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. [1] [2] It has a broad distribution, including North America, Europe, Northern Asia (excluding China), Oceania, and Southern Asia. [1] [3]
These three subspecies belong to the species Coccinella trifasciata:
Coccinella transversalis, commonly known as the transverse ladybird or transverse lady beetle is a species of ladybird beetle found from India across southern and southeastern Asia to Malesia and Australia. It is not to be confused with Coccinella transversoguttata, a widespread species in Europe and North America also known as the transverse ladybird. The alternative vernacular of small transverse ladybird may be used for C. transversalis in instances where these two species are discussed together.
Coccinella undecimpunctata, the eleven-spot ladybird or eleven-spotted lady beetle, is a ladybird species endemic to the Palearctic - Europe, North Africa, European Russia, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Western Asia, Afghanistan, Mongolia, China, Pakistan, North India. Coccinella undecimpunctata has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand as a biological control agent. In Central Europe C. undecimpunctata feeds on aphids associated with grasses - in fields, in ruderal biotopes, on steppe, stone quarries, wastelands, dry forest edges in meadows and coastal meadow, in open habitats with grasses, near rivers. Frequently in biotopes with Ammophila arenaria it also occurs on alluvial soils, detritus, on dead grass and in biotopes with Salix purpurea. It is salt resistant and can feed on aphids inhabiting Atriplex tatarica and other grasses associated with saline areas
