Remarks: Stethorus gilvifrons is an acarophagous Mediterranean species according to Khalil (2006). During this study, it was noted in many regions including the Jordan Valley. It was collected from farms on eggplant, citrus, squash, corn, tomato, peppers, watermelon, and on wild plants like jujube and Atriplex (plants infested with spider mites on which this species feeds). This species was reported previously from our region ( Halperin et al. 1995).
