Remarks: Scymnus syriacus is an aphidophagous species feeding on a wide range of aphids on different vegetables, fruits and wild plants (Khalil 2006). It is a common species in our region (Halperin et al. 1995). Most of our samples were collected from the Sudanian penetration zone on Atriplex, cane, citrus, Prosopis and jujube plants.
