A new species of Zenoria Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellinae), with a key to similar two-spotted hairy lady beetles from South America

Zenoria Mulsant, 1850 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellinae) is a Neotropical genus of lady beetles. Zenoria species are similar to species of Azyini in having a hairy dorsal surface with a black discal spot on each elytron formed by dark pubescence. Therefore, this paper provides an identification key for the two-spotted hairy lady beetles from South America, which include species of Azya Mulsant, Pseudoazya Gordon, and Zenoria. This paper also describes a new species, Zenoria candango Duarte-de-Mélo & Almeida sp. nov., from Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil. This is the 39th described species of Zenoria and the genus now comprises 18 species from Brazil.
