This review delves into the pivotal role of coccinellid beetles, commonly known as ladybird beetles, in biological pest control and their significance in maintaining ecological balance. The successful introduction of the vedalia ladybird in 1888 to control the cottony cushion scale in California stands as a landmark in biological pest control, prompting numerous global attempts to employ predaceous ladybird beetles for aphid control. Predaceous ladybird beetles have gained attention for their ability to feed on a diverse range of prey, emphasizing the need for comprehensive biodiversity information in new areas. Coccinellids, with approximately 6,000 species globally, inhabit various environments contributing significantly to pest management. The Indian subcontinent, with its rich coccinellid diversity explored through catalogues and surveys with highlighting the ecological balance they maintain and the potential for sustainable pest management practices.

Coccinellid beetles are predaceous on various insect pests such as aphids, mealy bugs, scale insects, mites, whiteflies and some other soft bodied insects. Literature review shows that they show significant role in control of agricultural and horticultural insect pests. Most of the coccinellid species are predatory in nature and considered as benignant. This review reveals the work done on the diversity of coccinellid beetles and highlights the role of coccinellid beetles as bio control agents of insect pests.

“…Ladybird beetles (Coleoptera; Coccinellidae) are found globally, with over 6,000 described species [1] classified in around 360 genera, of which 90% are regarded as beneficial with substantial agricultural significance in biological control programs [2,3] Micraspis allardi (Mulsant, 1866) is a predatory coccinellid with ecological distribution in Indonesia, Pakistan India, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Bhutan [4][5][6] with a host range consisting mainly of plant hoppers [7], aphids [8,9] and psyllids [10,11]. Although ecology, diversity and distribution of this species has been reported from Pakistan [4,12,13].…”

The Coccinellidae is a highly diversified family of order Coleoptera. Coccinellid ladybirds are well known for their role as biological control agent against varied range of agricultural pests. The samples of coccinellid ladybird collected from Pakistan were identified and characterized as Micraspis allardi (Mulsant, 1866). This is one of the least-studied ladybird species with limited work on its ecological distribution as a biological control agent. The genus Micraspis has vast genetic diversity with a possible presence of unknown number of cryptic species. Sequence information of some species of the genus Micraspis are present in NCBI database. However, least molecular data or sequences describing M. allardi could be available from database. Therefore, morphological and molecular characterization was imperative for this species. Here, the samples collected from sugarcane field of Faisalabad District of Pakistan and were identified by using morphological and molecular protocols. For molecular identification, two different regions of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene (COI-5′ and COI- 3′) were used as molecular markers for the identification of the species. Morphological appearance, DNA sequence similarity searches and phylogenetic analysis collectively indicated it as M. allardi. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report providing molecular evidence of M. allardi using mitochondrial DNA barcode region (658bp) as well as mtCOI-3ʹ sequences (817bp). The study will help in understanding population genetics through diversity analysis, ecological role, and phenotypic structures associated with the geographic range of this species.
