862787ADFFA4FFAFFF38FB87FB5AFA10.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Male genitalia: Basal lobe narrowed abruptly at one third of its length from the distal end; basal lobe shorter than parameres (Fig. 9 – 17). Anovia punica is the only species of the genus known to occur in Colombia and Venezuela, whereas in Peru A. punica coexists with A. peruviana, a species noticeably larger (4 mm in length) (A. punica: 2.5 – 3.6 mm in length). In Central America (Honduras and Panama), where A. punica coexists with A. circumclusa, the only way of separating A. punica from the latter is by a careful examination of the male genitalia. Gordon (1972) provides a good description of A. punica and a key to the genus. Forrester et al. (2009) give a good redescription for the closely related species, A. circumclusa, which is associated with the fluted scale Icerya genistae Hempel (Forrester and Vandenberg 2008).	en	F, Guillermo González, Kondo, Takumasa (2014): Geographical distribution and phenotypic variation of Anovia punica Gordon (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Noviini), a predatory ladybeetle of fluted scales (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Monophlebidae).
