Popis:	SUMMARY Four species of Coccinellidae, Adalia bipunctata (L.), Coccinella septem-punctata L., Coelomegilla maculata de G. and Cycloneda sanguinea L., were compared as predators of aphids on cucumbers and chrysanthemums. In laboratory feeding tests C. maculata and C. sanguinea proved the most voracious but the former could not remain on cucumber foliage long enough to be effective. The fecundity of C. sanguinea was the highest of those studied and a satisfactory laboratory rearing technique has been developed for this species.
