Scymnus (Scymnus) interruptus
Description
Scymnus (Scymnus) interruptus (Goeze, 1777)
(Fig. 11K)
Material: Ein Al ‘Auja (PMNH # E12715, 1, 16 April 2018). Ein Fasa’ll (PMNH # E12716, 1, 16 April 2018). Jericho 1 (PMNH # E12717, 1, 23 April 2018).
Remarks: Scymnus interruptus was collected from Vitex agnus-castus and citrus trees around the Jordan Valley region. It was recorded from the south of Syria feeding mainly on aphids on a wide range of plants and on pollen grains when food is scarce (Khalil 2006). This is the first record of this species in our region.
