Locality. Keren Carmel. Temporary, artificial pool in Hai Bar Carmel Nature Reserve. Lahav, northern Negev.
Material. A few individuals. Live observations, squash preparations and one sagittally-sectioned individual deposited in the Department of Zoology at Tel Aviv University, Israel, Catalogue Number VR- 25083.
Ecological features. Phaenocora unipunctata was found in temporary pools with scarce vegetation and abundant algae (March and April 2002) (see TABLE 1). Feeds on small and medium-sized “microturbellaria” (including intraspecific predation), as well as Crustacea, Copepoda and Diptera.
Well-distributed in Europe and Asia, Phaenocora unipunctata is also known from Argentina (Luther, 1963; Mack-Fira, 1974; Müller & Faubel, 1993; Noreña-Janssen, 1995). This is the first record for Israel.
