Remarks: Scymnus abietis lives on pine trees and feeds on aphids ( Khalil 2006). It was found on pine and cupressus in this study and was noted to be attracted to the yellow insect traps on olive trees in the Mediterranean area. This is the first record of this species in our region. Chen et al. (2015) reviewed and updated the subgenus Scymnus (Parapullus) and described eight new species.
