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.
