Orcus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 18 described species in Orcus, found in Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Java, Sumba, and the Kai Islands. [1] [2]
These 18 species belong to the genus Orcus:
Harmonia is a genus of lady beetles belonging to the subfamily Coccinellinae.
Paropsis is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Some species, Paropsis atomaria in particular, have been introduced to the United States in California with first official documented sightings in 2022. They primarily feed on Eucalyptus but there are a few that feed on Baeckea, Kunzea and Leptospermum. Species within this genus are noted as pests. For example, Paropsis charybdis is a pest of Eucalyptus in New Zealand.
Aulacophora is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as pumpkin beetles; some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, in Dejean's Catalogue des Coléoptères. The name, from Ancient Greek, signifies "furrow-bearer"' from aulax, "furrow".
The genus Cryptolaemus consists of predatory beetles of the family Coccinellidae, whose larvae and adults mostly prey upon scale insects on ornamental plants.
Batocera is a genus of the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae, close to the genus Rosenbergia.
Coccinellinae is a subfamily of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 genera and 90 described species in Coccinellinae.
Nephus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are more than 25 described species in Nephus. Several former species are now in the genus Scymnobius.
Diomus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 described species in Diomus.
Mulsantina is a genus of ladybugs, found in North and Central America and in the Caribbean (Haiti).
Novius is a genus of ladybird beetles belonging to the family Coccinellidae, and the sole member of the tribe Noviini. The genus as presently defined contains over 70 species, most of which were formerly placed in the genera Rodolia and Anovia, but after decades of debate, both of these genera are now considered to be junior synonyms of Novius.
Paropsisterna is a genus of leaf beetles indigenous to Papua New Guinea and Australia. There are over 120 species, many with bright aposematic colours, and many feeding on Eucalyptus leaves.
Epilachna is a genus of beetle in the family Coccinellidae, including several pest species, such as the Mexican bean beetle.
Scymninae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 170 described species in Scymninae.
Cycloneda is a genus of spotless lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are more than 20 described species in Cycloneda.
Stethorus is a genus of spider mite destroyers in the beetle family Coccinellidae. There are more than 40 described species in Stethorus.
Rhyparida is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in the Australasian and Indomalayan realms, though some species are also known from the African islands of Madagascar and Seychelles.
Edusella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It mainly occurs in Australia, with a single species occurring in New Caledonia.
Coelophora is a genus of ladybird beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are about 14 described species in Coelophora.
Diekeana is a genus of beetle in the family Coccinellidae, formerly included within the genus Epilachna.
Adira is a genus of beetles in the family Coccinellidae. It was first described by Gordon & Almeida, 1986
