Introduction
The beneficial lady beetle genus Azya is native to Central America, South America, and the West Indies. Although one species was introduced into Florida in 1936 and 1938, it apparently did not become established. However, another species has been recently collected in Dade and Broward Counties. Little information is available on the population in Florida, and this circular is prepared to aid field personnel in recognition of the insect and encourage submission of specimens to elucidate the distribution and biology.
