Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius, 1781) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae), a ladybug of Asian origin, has been recently reported in the Americas. Here, we record it for the first time in Honduras. In 2023, 26 specimens were collected on corn (Zea mays L. (Poaceae)), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) (Poaceae)), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae)) in Francisco Morazán. The series included five color types: quadriplagiata group types D‑1, F‑2, and I, and diversijunata group types L‑2 and N. Diagnosis, photographs of the adults, and the male genitalia are presented to aid in the identification.
