Remarks: This species was found in a few localities in the West Bank, all of which were within the Mediterranean zone. Most samples of Chilocorus bipustulatus were collected from oak and cypress trees. Kaplan et al. (2016) observed this species feeding on the olive psyllid in Turkey. A similar predation habit for this species was observed in Kharas 2.
