ABSTRACT
The chilocorine coccinellid Brumoides septentrionis
davisi (Leng) is an infrequently collected lady beetle whose broad
distribution in eastern North America has been mapped; few specific
localities, however, have been published. Despite a known association with
pines, the Pinus species on which it is found have not been recorded.
Historical locality data are provided based on specimens in five museum
collections, and new records from recent field work are presented. This
coccinellid’s plant and habitat associations are discussed. Its populations
apparently have declined in the Northeast in recent years. Certain scale
insects probably serve as prey.
