First record of Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius, 1781) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) from Honduras

Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius, 1781) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae), a ladybug of Asian origin, has been recently reported in the Americas. Here, we record it for the first time in Honduras. In 2023, 26 specimens were collected on corn ( Zea mays L. (Poaceae)), sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) (Poaceae)), and sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae)) in Francisco Morazán. The series included five color types: quadriplagiata group types D‑1, F‑2, and I, and diversijunata group types L‑2 and N. Diagnosis, photographs of the adults, and the male genitalia are presented to aid in the identification.
