Hyperaspis polita (Weise, 1885)

(Fig. 11A)

Material: Irtas 1 (PMNH # E12509, 2, 25 March 2018). Dayr Balut (PMNH # E12510, 1, 2 September 2017).

Remarks: Hyperaspis polita is one of the important predators of cotton mealybugs (Spodek et al. 2018; Seyfollahi et al. 2016). It was reported in the region as a common species (Halperin et al. 1995), but in the study area in the West Bank it was collected from Irtas 1 on a Geranium sp. plant and from Dayr Balut on a fennel plant.
