Thumbnail | |
Abstract | The 57 genera and 475 species of Coccinellidae occurring in America north of Mexico are treated taxonomically. Keys to all taxa, descriptions of the higher taxa, species diagnoses, synonymies, and host records are included. Two new tribes, Cephaloscymnini and Selvadiini, are erected for the genera Cephaloscymnus Crotch and Selvadius Casey. New species are described as follows: Brachiacantha barberi; B. rotunda; B. schwarzi; B. soltaui; B. stephani; Exoplectra schaefferi; Gnathoweisea ferox; G. hageni; G. micula; G. texana; Hyperaspidius algodonus; H. andrewsi; H. hardyi; H. nanellus; H. simulatus; Hyperaspis caseyi; H. deludens; H. dobzhanskyi; H. imitator, H. ornatella; H. schaefferi; H. uteana; Nephus (S.) timberlakei; Zagloba satana; Zilus horni. A chapter on biological control involving the family Coccinellidae includes discussions of the introduced species established in North America, and tables listing all the species that have been introduced whether established or not. |
