Lady beetles in the tribe Noviini (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are well-known control agents for scale insects. The tribe consists of ~ 80 species divided among three genera, and is represented on every continent except Antarctica. Anovia Casey is native to North and South America, Novius Mulsant is restricted to Australia, and Rodolia Mulsant, while native to Australia, has been widely introduced to other regions of the world. Only three noviines have been known to occur in the United States. Rodolia cardinalis (Mulsant) and Rodolia koebelei (Olliff) were both introduced from Australia and contributed to the biological control of the cottony cushion scale, Icerya purchasi Maskell (Koebele 1892, Olliff 1895). Unfortunately, Rodolia koebelei has not been collected for some time, and is thought to be nonexistent in the United States now (Gordon 1985). Anovia virginalis (Wickham), known from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, is apparently a native U.S. species (Wickham 1905). The remaining five species of Anovia, until now, were known only from south of the Mexican-American border. New collection records indicate the presence of a second Anovia, A. circumclusa (Gorham), in the United States. This species was previously known only from Honduras, Mexico, and Panama (Gordon 1972). It has now been collected from three sites in Florida: one in Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) and two in Miami (Dade County). The adults of Anovia species are diagnosed by the following suite of characters: dorsum convex, subhemispherical, widest medially, with arcuate lateral margins; dorsum (including eye facets) with pale, suberect pubescence; head with no ocular canthus; clypeal apex horizontal; antenna 8-segmented, weakly clubbed; tarsal formula 3-3-3. Gordon (1972) used elytral color patterns to distinguish species of Anovia; however, further examination of Anovia specimens indicates that dorsal coloration is not always a reliable character for differentiating species in this genus. Anovia circumclusa is distinguishable from all congeners by the form of the tegmen. The basal lobe of A. circumclusa is slender and does not extend laterally beyond the internal margin of the parameres (Fig. 1a), while in A. virginalis the basal lobe is quite broad, extending well beyond the internal margin of the parameres (Fig. 2a). Also, in A. circumclusa the basal piece is widest
