The diversity of lady beetle fauna belonging to the subfamily Coccinellinae from Nepal Agricultur. Among the species identified accurately via genitalia dissection, all appear to be in compliance with available literature except for Jauravia assamensis which was recorded only from India (Assam) before. could not be confirmed to the species level due to lack of enough references to compare the male genitalia with. and Scymnus (Pullus) sp., which weren't confirmed to the species level due to lack of a male specimen while 1 species, Serangium sp. These include Chilocorus nigritus, Coelophora saucia, Oenopia excellens, Phrynocaria sp., Scymnus sp. A total of 146 specimens were collected from altitudes ranging from 700-830 amsl. more Twenty-seven species of lady beetles (Coccinellidae) from 20 genera, 6 subfamilies and 8 tribes, were observed occurring in the two hilly districts of Nepal viz., Lamjung and Kaski with Sundarbazar and Pokhara as their respective study areas, during a 13 months field survey (April 2017-May 2018). Twenty-seven species of lady beetles (Coccinellidae) from 20 genera, 6 subfamilies and 8 tribes. pumilus (Weise, 1892) and Scymnus (Pullus) posticalis Sicard, 1913. Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fabricius, 1775), Jauravia quadrinotata Kapur, 1946, Pharoscymnus flexibilis Identified species were Chilocorus nigritus (Fabricius, 1798), Henosepilachna kathmanduensis Miyatake, 1985, (Chilocorus, Henospilachna, Jauravia, Pharoscymnus, Novius and Scymnus) were collected and identified. In this research,Įxcept for Coccinellinae, 7 species from 5 subfamilies (Chilocorinae, Epilachninae, Sticholotidinae, ScymninaeĪnd Coccidulinae), 5 tribes (Chilocorini, Epilachnini, Sticholotidini, Scymnini and Noviini) and 6 genera However, Epilachninae (now Epilachnini) is also included here. All the findings are included except those of the subfamily Coccinellinae which have been included more The diversity of lady beetle fauna of Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Khumaltar, Lalitpur is studied The diversity of lady beetle fauna of Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Khumaltar, Lali. All species were recorded for the first time from the studied areas. The recorded species are Chrysocoris patricius, Chrysocoris pulchellus, Eucorysses grandis and Poecilocoris nepalensis. All the species fell under single subfamily Scutellerinae Leach, 1815 and tribe Scutellerini Leach. Four different species of jewel bugs from 1 subfamily, 1 tribe and 3 genera were recorded. A total of 31specimens of Scutelleridae were collected at localities with altitude varying from 700-1600 masl. Raipur village of Tanahun, Sundarbazar, Kunchha and Dura Daanda areas of Lamjung and Hemja and Sarangkot areas of Kaski were explored for this purpose. The prime purpose of the research was to find out the Scutelleridae diversity in these districts which hasn’t been done before. Tanahun, Lamjung and Kaski, over a period of 13 months (April 2017-May 2018). more A survey of jewel bugs (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) was conducted in three hilly districts of Nepal viz.
