status

 

Coccinella septempunctata Linneaus 1758 (Europe) .

Distribution. China (except Hainan Island), Palearctic region, North America.

Specimen Examined. 1 ♀, Yunnan: Lijiang: Wenbishan .

Remarks. This is a well­known lady beetle, and established in North America ( Gordon 1985). Its occurrence on hemlock Tsuga is likely incidental, since many other specimens were collected from other plants nearby.

Specimens Examined. (4 total) Yunnan: Lijiang: Yunshanping (1), Wenbishan (3).
