Subgenus Scymnus Kugelann View in CoL View at ENA

Scymnus (Scymnus) has 22 known species in China, including the two new species described here. This subgenus is distinguished from S. ( Pullus ) by having the abdominal postcoxal line incomplete. Examination of 90 specimens of S. (Pullus) centralis Kamiya (1965b) showed the majority to have the postcoxal line incomplete. Because this character could cause it to be confused with S. ( Scymnus View in CoL ) species, it has been included in the following key.
