An annotated distributional checklist of the Coccinellidae of Bhutan is presented, enumerating 91 species, 17 of which are here recorded for the first time: Shirozuella tibetina Wang, Ge & Ren, 2012, Jauravia limbata (Motschulsky, 1858), Scymnus bourdilloni (Kapur, 1958), Illeis confusa Timberlake, 1943, Calvia albida Bielawski, 1972, Harmonia expa...

By far the largest number of species (42) has been reported from Chhukha dzongkhag in the southwest of the country, followed by Wangdue Phodrang (central) with 21 species and Thimphu (west) with 18 species (Table 1, Fig. 1). From two of the 20 dzongkhag, Gasa and Lhuntse, no coccinellids have been reported at all. It is certain that the large regional differences observed here are mainly artefacts caused by various levels of collecting effort made in different parts of the country. This is further corroborated by the fact that the western part of the ...

Present study was carried out to know the community structure of coccinellid beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in agricultural ecosystem of Doiwala region, Dehradun (U.K.), India during January 2021 to December 2021. During the study period, a total of 8 species of ladybird beetles, which belong to 7 genera under 1 family, 3 subfamilies and 3 tribes were recorded, viz., Brumoides suturalis (Fabricius), Coccinella septumpunctata (Linn.), Coccinella transversalis (Fab.), Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fab.), Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), Harmonia dimidiata (Fabr.), Oenopia sauzeti (Mulsant) and Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Li). Out of these eight species, seven were predatory and one was phytophagous. The only phytophagous species was H. vigintioctopunctata (Li). Maximum species of coccinellids were collected from site-3 (7 species), then followed by site-4 (6 species), site-1 and site-2 (5 species each).
