Not sure what you mean here, but the tribe Scymnini includes the genus Rhyzobius ...

As for me, I don't know enough to even say if Rhyzobius sp. is "safe" enough for the beetle, or if maybe some Scymnus or so cannot be exluded for the full 100% ... Paul might still have ideas about that though. But yes, I think it's fair to assume that if this is indeed the only beetles of tribe Scymnini that you find in the garden (or even on that plant) that the larvea you found earlier may very well be the same "species" (if not the very same animal )
