Résumé

Pendant la période de 1961–1965 une étude a été faite sur les entomophages de la cochenille du palmier-dattier,Parlatoria blanchardi Targ., en Israël. Parmi les ennemis naturels les plus efficaces, il faut citer les Coccinellides, les Hyménoptères parasites et les Coléoptères du genreCybocephalus. Seulement 7 espèces de Coccinellides parmi les 25 trouvées sur les palmiers sont des prédateurs directs deParlatoria. Leur répartition varie dans les différentes régions du pays. Quatre espèces dePharoscymnus ont une importance primordiale et sont largement distribuées. L'espèce la plus fréquente et la plus répandue estPh. numidicus Pic.
