Epilachnine Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) of Sumatra and Java

Abstract

Twenty-six species of epilachnine ladybird beetles confirmed in Sumatra and Java during 1981-1998 were enumerated and figured. They included eleven species of “Henosepilachna”, thirteen species of “Epilachna”, one species of Afidenta, and one species whose taxonomic status was not settled. Records of food plants were given for each species, and brief notes were added concerning some aspects of their natural history.
