1979 (No. 588, 590) (SV). Distribution: Europe, Asia Minor, Caucasus, Middle Asia, Siberia, Mongolia, Soviet Far East, China, Japan, Korea. Remarks: Propylea japonica and P. quatuordecimpunctata are known to be sibling species. SASAJI, YAHARA and SAITO (1975) showed that they are not isolated reproductively, because hybrid adults are fertile, although the hybrid breakdown appears in the fifth or sixth generation.However, a more or less significant sexual isolation has been revealed, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata is one of the most common ladybirds in Europe and much rarer in the Palearctic Far East, where P. japonica is very frequent. In Korea, as in Japan, the former species seems to occur mainly in mountaineous regions, while the latter is generally distributed.
