About Rhyzobius chrysomeloides (Herbst, 1792)
Rhyzobius chrysomeloides is a species of beetle belonging to the family Coccinellidae. This is a predatory species that feeds on aphids. It is most commonly found on a wide range of tree species and garden shrubs. It was first recorded in Britain in 1996, found on a pine tree. It looks very similar to Rhyzobius litura, but can be told apart by its broader prosternal keel, as well as darker, U-shaped markings on its elytra.
