Aphidophagous coccinellids (insecta: coleoptera) in chili (capsicum annuum L.)ecosystems in Malaysia

The study was aimed to record and making a list of the aphidophagous coccinellids that preying on aphid, aphis gossypii glover (homoptera:aphididae)colonizing chili (capsicum annuum L) crop in Malaysia.
