Abstract
Adult coccinellids are of minute to medium size, 0.8–18 mm long. The body (Pl. I, 1–8) is most often oval, sometimes almost 3 times as long as wide. The dorsal surface is convex; the ventral surface is always flat. The body surface is either bare or covered with short recumbent hairs and is more or less shiny. In the Sukunahikonini, there are also longer erect hairs in addition to the short recumbent ones. Sculpturing is in the form of fine or coarse punctures, densely arranged.
