Hyperaspis
The white markings on the head distinguish the genus from the other "black with two red spots" lady beetles.

...that not all Hyperaspis have white markings on the head, and then it gets hard to tell the genera apart again. But every black-with-two-red-spots ladybug that does have white markings is Hyperaspis.
