Coccinella (Neococcinella) undecimpunctata
Description
Coccinella (Neococcinella) undecimpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758)
(Fig. 2E, Fig. 4)
Material: Marj Na’je 1 (PMNH # E12426, 2, 6 March 2018). Jericho 2 (PMNH # E12427, 1, 23 April 2018). Jericho 4 (PMNH # E12425, 1, 23 April 2018). Taibe (PMNH # E12429, 1, 12 April 2013). Nablus (PMNH # E12430, 1, March 2014). Dayr Balut (PMNH # E12431, 1, 25 March 2017). Al-Auja 1 (PMNH # E12428, 1, 6 March 2018).
Remarks: It is surprising that with extensive collections in the area of the South West Bank, we were able to note this species only in Jericho and Auja and a couple of other localities in the northern parts of the West Bank. The use of this species in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is very common because of its specialization in feeding on aphids and because it is less susceptible to selective pesticides that kill aphids (Cabral et al. 2011). Coccinella undecimpunctata suffers from intraguild predation by the competitor species Harmonia axyridis (Félix & Soares 2004).
