Scymnus (Pullus) rubicundus Erichson, 1847
Scymnus sp. : Waterhouse (1890).
Material examined. + 60 specimens.
Remarks. “Two examples of a species resembling the Indian S. xeranipelinus Mulsant, but a trifle smaller (1½ millim.); uniform brownish yellow, with golden pubescence; punctuation of the elytra close, fine but distinct; metasternum very strongly punctured” ( Waterhouse, 1890). The two specimens from Fernando de Noronha, previously identified as Scymnus sp. by Waterhouse (1890), were deposited in the NHMUK and subsequently identified in that collection as S. rubicundus . This pilose species is highly variable in colour, from entirely yellow to entirely black with several intermediary patterns. The yellow morph recently collected fits the photos of the specimen from Fernando de Noronha deposited in the NHMUK.
