Reviewed by Johan Bogaert Jun 6, 2005

Action: changed name from "Harmonia arcuata" to "Harmonia axyridis "

Reviewer's comments:

"Harmonia arcuata (or Harmonia octomaculata)has a yellow head and the body shape more ellipse than H. axyridis with a white head and a round body shape. It’s possible to confuse H. arcuata with H. transversalis."
