Diagnosis
Coccinella undecimpunctata is similar to C. transversoguttata transversoguttata in general body structure and colouration, but can be separated by having a penis guide gradually tapering towards a blunt apex in inner view (Fig. 7 D).
Distribution
Pakistan. Azad Jammu and Kashmir (Hayat et al. 2017), Baluchistan (Mohibullah et al. 2019), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Irshad 2001, Rafi et al. 2005, Saeed et al. 2016), Punjab (Rafi et al. 2005, current study), Sindh (Ali et al. 2012); – Austria, Australia, Azores, Balearic, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, China, Corsica, Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greek, Hungary, India, Iran, Italy, Luxemburg, Mongolia, Nepal, Netherlands, Norway, North Africa, North America, Poland, Portuguese, Sardinia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden (Poorani 2002, Kovář 2007, Jafari et al. 2015, Poorani 2023).
