Nipus
Nipus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae, established by Casey in 1899. The genus comprises at least four described species distributed in North America: N. biplagiatus and N. niger (both described by Casey, 1899), and N. occiduus and N. planatus (both described by Gordon, 1970). These beetles are part of the diverse Coccinellidae family, which includes many species valued for predation on pest insects.
