Description

Eyes are large, and moderately faceted. The interval between the eyes as wide as an eye. Mandibles are bifid at apex and more coarsely dentate at inner margin. [1]

It is a mycophagous coccinellid associated with powdery mildew in various crops such as mulberry where it feeds on the fungus, Phyllactinia corylea that causes powdery mildew of mulberry, [2] [3] [4] and Erysiphe cichoracearum causing powdery mildew on sunflower. [5] [6]

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.
