(Fig. 11N, Fig. 13)

Material: Nahalin 1 (PMNH # E12722, 1, 20 August 2017). Irtas 1 (PMNH # E12723, 2, 25 March 2018). Al Carmel 2 (PMNH # E12724, 2, 12 April 2018). Ein Al Fawwar (PMNH # E12725, 2, 16 April 2018). Ein Fasa’ll (PMNH # E12726, 1, 16.4.2018). Tel Alsamrat (PMNH # E12727, 1, 23 April 2018). Kufr Al-Dik (PMNH # E12728, 1, 16 August 2017).

Remarks: Scymnus pallipediformis was recorded as one of the important natural enemies of Monosteira sp. in almond orchards of Turkey (Bolu 2007) and of Ceroplastes floridensis on grapefruits and citrus (Eserkaya & Karaca 2016). It was reported earlier from our region (Halperin et al. 1995). In the present study, it is recorded near springs and ditch water areas.
