Abstract :

A lady bird beetle Menochilus aphidivouri sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is biocontrol agent of several homopterous insect pests. Therefore, karyological investigations were carried out in adult male of M. aphidIvouri sp. nov. The diploid number of 12 chromosomes was depicted by the spermatogonial metaphase. The karyotypes comprise of 5 pair of autosomes and X and Y sex chromosomes
