Notes: With the aim of searching for natural enemies to control the Colombian fluted scale (CFS), Crypticerya multicicatrices Kondo & Unruh, field studies were conducted in the city of Cali between February 2013 and October 2014. As a result of this study, two species of lady beetles were found feeding on CFS, i.e., Anovia punica Gordon and Rodolia cardinalis (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). This is the first record of R. cardinalis preying on CFS.
