Abstract

Pseudoscymnus tsugae sp. nov. is described. In Honshu, Japan, it has been collected between 34°11' and 36°50'N latitude and from sea level to 1,980 m. The adult and the mature larva are illustrated. The beetle may be a good candidate for the biological control of hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand, in North America.
