"They are sometimes called Fourteen Spotted Lady Beetles, but that common name is also applied to another species that occurs in Ontario, Propylea quatuorodecimpunctata. Calvia quatuorodecimguttata is perhaps better referred to as the Cream Spotted Lady-beetle, which is the name used for this species in Britain. Common names, like the "fourteen spotted lady beetle" often refer to different species in different places, and lack the accuracy of scientific names. Both Calvia and Propylea have only one species in North America, so you are being explicit enough by just by calling them "Propylea" and "Calvia"."
