(COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) Mahdi Abbas Swail Department of Biology, College of Education, Wassit ABSTRACT This study deals with Aphid predators of the genus Coccinella L. recognized in different regions of the world. They have been arranged systematically according to Korschefsky’s catalogue (1931). The list includes sites of study and the reference (works) that consider Coccinellids as predator. The study has revealed that there are thirteen Aphid predator species belonging to the genus Coccinella L. in different places of the world, although there might be other species that were not recorded by this work. Systematic list of Aphid predators of the genus Coccinella L. Many individuals of the genus Coccinella L. were recognized as predators to Aphids in different parts of the world. In this work the individuals have been listed in a classification list according to Korschefsky (1931). The list includes sites of the study and the references.

DISCUSSION As the abovementioned list of Aphids preyed upon by Coccinella L. shows, the most predominant species of predators are C. septempunctata L., C. repandaThanb. and C. undecimpunctata L. respectively, and they are polyphagous. This feature helps to increase the spread of the species and reduces the ability of using it in biological control because the monophagous species are more responsive to their preys and tend to limit the spread of the species.
