Comments. Hippodamia has nineteen species and its natural distribution involves the Palearctic and Nearctic ( Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1982; Gordon 1985). The record of this genus for NE Brazil is due to the occurrence of the exotic Hippodamia convergens ( Guérin-Méneville, 1844) ( Rodrigues et al. 2013) .
