Notes: Scale insects are the most damaging pests of citrus production in Turkey. Rhyzobius lophanthae Blaisdell (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a polyphagous coccinellid, is one of the most important predators of these pests. In this study, the life tables of R. lophanthae on three different armored scale insects, Aonidiella aurantiii (Maskell), Aspidiotus nerii Bouché, Chrysomphalus dictiyospermi Morgan) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), were produced.
