Abstract: The ladybeetle Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius) (Coleoptea: Coccinellidae) is one of the dominant natural enemies of various insect pests in agroforestry ecosystem due to wide distribution, common occurrence in field, high reproductive rate, wide feeding range, excellent predation ability and strong adaptability, thus there is a bright development prospect to develop this predator. In this article we reviewed the research progress on C. sexmaculata in recent 40 years, mainly focusing on the taxonomy, biological characteristics, biological control, artificial rearing, and insecticide impacts. In addition, the prospects for the future studies and application of C. sexmaculata were also discussed.

Key words: Menochilus sexmaculata, biological characteristics, biological control, mass-rearing, utilization
