Abstract
This article provides information on the biology and molecular analysis of the species Platynaspis saundersii Crotch, 1874, Platynaspis luteorubra (Goeze, 1777), belonging to the genus Platynaspis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), which are beneficial insects that kill pests on trees growing in the plains, mountains and foothills of the Fergana Valley, as well as in fruit orchards.
