Moved from Lady Beetles.

probably Hyperaspis, signata group
It doesn't look sufficiently explanate (helmet-like) for the twice stabbed lady beetles in Chilocorus. If it was around 3mm or less I'd definitely go with Hyperaspis; 4mm or more, it might be Chilocorus after all. I'm getting a very hyperaspine gestalt, though.

 
ditto
also vote for Hyperaspis - signata group. (saw the other image first and thought Hyperaspis was the only possibility)
