Chilocorus, but not sure about C. stigma
Although Gordon's reference (1) is some +20years dated, C. stigma's distribution is stated as stopping at about the west slope of the rockies, and as not reaching the west coast. There are Chilocorus "stigma-like" species occurring on the west coast (and not in C. stigma's range), C. orbus and C. fraternus, and one more close by in British Columbia, C. tricyclus. Unfortunately, they are undeterminable without dissection. So I guess I'd recommend moving these photos back to the genus page (sorry) :( And I guess we could ask if a combined orbus/fraternus page should be created, since they can be separated from stigma by distro, but not from each other.

I'll post a comment on the stigma page regarding the distro.

That's ok
I was just making an assumption about the species because there really aren't that many books that are available for the Pacific NW. I've found some good places on the internet, but some of the information available is for purchase, not just public viewing.
