Illeis is a genus of ladybird beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are about five described species in Illeis, found in south and east Asia and in Oceania. [1]
These five species belong to the genus Illeis:
The UCR Entomology Research Museum is the insect collection of the Department of Entomology of the University of California, Riverside. It contains approximately 4 million total insect specimens, over 3 million of which are pinned, roughly 400,000 mounted on slides, the remainder preserved in ethanol. Of the ~4 million curated holdings, approximately 75% of are identified to genus level or better. An estimated 25% of the entire collection are Hymenoptera, 21% are Coleoptera, 18% Diptera, and 18% Lepidoptera.
Coccidula is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are five species described in Coccidula.
Hippodamia is a genus of ladybirds in the family Coccinellidae. It includes the most common native North American "ladybug", H. convergens, which can form overwintering aggregations numbering in the millions. Another notable member is Hippodamia variegata, which occurs widely over both the North and South Hemispheres.
Coccinellidae is a widespread family of small beetles. They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in the United Kingdom; "lady" refers to mother Mary. Entomologists use the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles to avoid confusion with true bugs. The more than 6,000 described species have a global distribution and are found in a variety of habitats. They are oval beetles with a domed back and flat underside. They are sexually dimorphic; adult females are larger than males. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic (warning) colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they taste bad.
Halmus chalybeus, commonly known as the Steelblue ladybird is a species of ladybird native to Australia. It has a rounded appearance with an iridescent blue/green colouration and is a predator of other insects. It was introduced to New Zealand from Australia in 1899 and 1905 to control black scale and blue gum scale on citrus trees, where it is now common in northern regions. It has also been recorded eating San Jose scale. They are about 3–4 mm long.
Coccinellinae is a subfamily of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 genera and 90 described species in Coccinellinae.
Anisosticta is a genus of beetle of the family Coccinellidae.
Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata is a beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is the only member of the genus Subcoccinella. It has the typical, almost semi-spherical, ladybird shape and is patterned with spots. However it differs from many of the well-known ladybirds in being neither smooth and shiny nor an eater of aphids: the wing-cases look velvety and it eats fungal moulds on plants.
Dianthidium is a genus of leafcutter, mason, and resin bees in the family Megachilidae. There are at least 20 described species in Dianthidium.
Calvia is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are about 10 described species in Calvia.
Hyperaspis is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are more than 100 described species in Hyperaspis.
Coccidophilus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are about five described species in Coccidophilus.
Hippodamia sinuata, the sinuate lady beetle, is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is found in North America and Oceania.
Zilus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae.
Ancylandrena is a genus of mining bees in the family Andrenidae. There are about five described species in Ancylandrena.
Protodufourea is a genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae. There are about five described species in Protodufourea.
Illeis cincta, is a species of lady beetle native to India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
