Abstract:

Nine species of Cybocephalus were found in a survey conducted throughout Israel:C. micans (Reitter), C. nigriceps nigriceps (J. Sahiberg), C. nigriceps sinisterEndrödy-Younga, C. aegyptiacusEndrödy-Younga, C. mediterraneusEndrödy-Younga, C. pullusEndrödy-Younga, C. fodori minorEndrödy-Younga, C. membranaceus (Reitter) and Cybocephalus sp. n. C. micans and C.n. nigriceps are the most prevalent: the former in the Coastal Plain on citrus and the latter in the Arava region on date palms. In most cases the population density of the predator appeared to be related to that of the prey. Armoured scale insects (Homoptera: Diaspididae) were the main prey of Cybocephalus. © 1973 Le François.
