| Abstract/Description: | The genus Micraspis Chevrolat (in Dejean 1836) (Coccinellidae: Coccinellinae: Coccinellini) is mainly distributed in the Oriental, Australasian, Pacific and African regions (Slipinski 2007). From India, six species are known at present (Poorani 2002) and the genus is in need of revision as many species are not well defined. Members of Micraspis are unusual in their feeding habits as they are both entomophagous and phytophagous and seem to prefer plant pollen to animal prey (Slipinski 2007). Micraspis discolor (F.) is the most common species of coccinellid in Oriental paddy fields and is abundant on rice crop, particularly during flowering and feeds on pollen (Afsana and Islam 2001, Shanker et al. 2013). During surveys in northeastern states of India, a new species of Micraspis was collected and is described and illustrated here. |
