Chapin examined thousands of specimens of each species, and illustrated the complete range of dorsal patterns for each. The male genitalia of each species is also illustrated.

Larval systematics of North American Cycloneda Crotch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) By Robert Gordon and Natalia Vandenberg

With this key, I find it easier to identify the larvae of Cycloneda munda, C. polita, and C. sanguinea than the adults!
