Etymology
From Coccinella + -idae.
Proper noun
Coccinellidae
- A taxonomic family within the order Coleoptera – the ladybirds or ladybugs.
- 2017 June 26, “Molecular phylogeny reveals food plasticity in the evolution of true ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini)”, in PubMed Central:
- The generic concepts within the tribe Coccinellini are unstable and do not reflect a natural classification, being largely based on regional revisions. This impedes the phylogenetic study of important traits of Coccinellidae at a global scale (e.g. the evolution of food preferences and biogeography).
