Resumo

Abstract Coccinellids reported to be feeding on the diaspidid Chrysomphalus aonidum (L.) infesting coconut palms in Gujarat, India, were found to belong to an undescribed species. This is described here as Sukunahi-kona popei sp.n. and is compared with other species of the genus. A key to the species is given. This is the first record of the tribe Sukunahikoni in India.
