Dear Jim,
my thought is that installing subdivisions in bugguide is useful only in big families, and when it is useful also for learned amateurs to navigate within the family. This will not be the case in Coccinellids.
Yesterday evening, I have again identified a Scymnus haemorrhoidalis (palearctic species), and it just looks like yours! There is a Nearctic one, S.fraternus (synonym:
S.haemorrhous
) - but it may not be the same as yours (body shorter!).
I think, however, that "Scymnus sp" will be a good label to store this one.
