Remarks: Scymnus flavicollis can be found on cultivated pistachio feeding on common pistachio psylla ( Salehi et al. 2011). The species is an enemy of white flies ( Alemansoor & Ahmadi 1994) and banana aphids ( Biale et al. 2017). It was reported earlier from our region ( Halperin et al. 1995). In the present study, it was collected from Ziziphus and citrus trees of four localities in the study area.
