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.
