Abstract

Rodatus Mulsant is a ladybird genus endemic to Australia. Currently it is classified within the tribe Coccidulini and can be easily distinguished from other Australian genera of that tribe by its large, broadly securiform terminal maxillary palpomeres, enlarged first antennomere, and setiferous patches on the ventrite 5 in males. Two new species, R. lawrencei sp. nov. from South Australia and R. wiolettae sp. nov. from New South Wales, are here described and illustrated.
