Scymnus indianensis
The small size and postcoxal line not reaching hind margin of first sternum are distinctive - Gordon says it's one of the few spp. of Scymnus s. str. that can be ID'd w/o dissection. The pronotal pattern varies considerably in this species.

The extremely dark venter could help get this to species.
