Coccinellidae is a widespread family of small beetles ranging in size from 0.8 to 18 mm. The family is commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in Great Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world. Entomologists prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not classified as true bugs.
The Chilocorinae are a subfamily of ladybugs in the family Coccinellidae. They feed predominately on scale insects. They are usually shiny and often have no spots or patterns on their wing covers. Their bodies are in round helmet shapes. They are medium in size and are sometimes seen feeding on cowpea aphids. Some examples include the pine ladybird and kidney-spot ladybird which inhabit the UK, both of which are black ladybirds with red spots. A US example is the twice-stabbed lady beetle.
Chilocorus similis is a species of red-spotted lady beetles belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Chilocorinae.
Hippodamia variegata, the Adonis ladybird, also known as the variegated ladybug (US) and spotted amber ladybeetle (Aus), is a species of ladybeetle belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Coccinellinae.
The Epilachninae are a subfamily of the family of lady beetles, the Coccinellidae, in the order Coleoptera. Superficially, they look much like other ladybirds in the larger subfamily Coccinellinae, but they differ importantly in their biology, in that the members of the subfamily are largely or completely leaf-feeding herbivores rather than being predators. Accordingly, several members of the subfamily are crop pests, and sometimes cause locally serious crop losses.
The Coccidulinae are a subfamily of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. Recent molecular analyses suggest that Coccidulinae is not a monophyletic group.
Coccinellinae is a subfamily of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 genera and 90 described species in Coccinellinae.
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.
Ceratomegilla undecimnotata is a species of black-spotted lady beetles belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Coccinellinae.
The Scymnini are a tribe of insects within the family Coccinellidae. This group includes many small species that are commonly known as dusky ladybugs.
Sticholotidinae is a beetle subfamily in the family Coccinellidae.
Sticholotidini is a beetle tribe in the subfamily Sticholotidinae of the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds).
Vibidia is a genus of ladybird beetle belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Coccinellinae.
Scymnus is a genus of beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is the type genus of the subfamily Scymninae and the tribe Scymnini.
Scymninae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 170 described species in Scymninae.
Scymnus (Scymnus) nubilus, is a species of lady beetle found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, China, and Asia Minor.
