Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Coccinellidae
Name
Brumoides Chapin, 1965 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Brumoides Chapin, 1965: 237. Type species: Coccinella suturalis Fabricius, 1798, by original designation.
Diagnosis
Body length 2.0–3.5 mm. Dorsum glabrous; yellowish or brown, elytra with dark markings. Eye distinctly emarginate. Antenna composed of 8 antennomeres; terminal antennomere small, partly embedded in penultimate one. Clypeus short; labrum exposed. Pronotal base bordered; prosternal process extremely narrow, without carinae; without hypomeral fovea. Fore tibia narrow, simple, middle and hind tibiae with two apical spurs; tarsal claws appendiculate or weakly thickened basally. Abdominal ventrite 6 visible in males; abdominal postcoxal lines separated medially, each arcuately recurving apically and reaching or nearly reaching midpoint of lateral line (after Ślipiński 2007[1]).
Ecology
Various species of Brumoides have been associated with mealybugs (Ślipiński 2007[1]), namely Coccidohystrix insolita (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), Dactylopius confusus (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae), Ferrisia virgata (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), and Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudoccocidae) (Gordon 1985[2], Gautam 1990[3], Hodek and Honěk 2009[4], Arif et al. 2012[5], Giorgi et al. 2014[6]). Some species of this genus, such as Brumoides suturalis (F.) feed on some whitefly species, such as Aleurolobus barodensis (Maskell) (Inayatullah 1984[7], Hodek and Honěk 2009[4]) in addition to feeding on some coccids, such as F. virgata (better for development) and Planococcus pacificus (better for oviposition) (Gautam 1990[3]).
