However, based on museum insect specimens, the introduction of H. axyridis in Colombia occurred in 1989 or earlier, making it the second oldest record of the species in South America after the deliberate releases of the species in Argentina in 1986. Currently in Colombia, H. axyridis is well established and is here recorded from the States of Antioquia, Caldas, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Nariño, Tolima and Valle del Cauca.application/pdfapplication/pdfAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Investigación agropecuaria - A50CoccinellidaeFamilia (taxón)Insecto dañinoTransversalhttp://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_30045http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_330937http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_5729Artículo científico
