	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;The predatory beetle &lt;em&gt;Cybocephalus fodori minor&lt;/em&gt; has recently been reported in Iran. Also few studies have been reported on life cycle of &lt;em&gt;Cybocephalus beetles&lt;/em&gt;, especially on that of &lt;em&gt;C. f. minor&lt;/em&gt;. Thus, the life cycle and feeding rate of this predatory beetle was studied on pistachio oyster shell scale, &lt;em&gt;Lepidosaphes pistaciae&lt;/em&gt; under laboratory conditions (temperature: 25 &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 11pt LINE-HEIGHT: 115% FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin mso-bidi-font-family: Arial mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi mso-ansi-language: EN-US mso-fareast-language: EN-US mso-bidi-language: AR-SA&quot;&gt;±&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;2 &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 11pt LINE-HEIGHT: 115% FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin mso-bidi-font-family: Arial mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi mso-ansi-language: EN-US mso-fareast-language: EN-US mso-bidi-language: AR-SA&quot;&gt;°&lt;/span&gt;c  relative humidity: 65 &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 11pt LINE-HEIGHT: 115% FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Calibri&#039;,&#039;sans-serif&#039; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin mso-bidi-font-family: Arial mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi mso-ansi-language: EN-US mso-fareast-language: EN-US mso-bidi-language: AR-SA&quot;&gt;±&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;5% and photoperiod: 16:8 L: D/h). Life cycle of &lt;em&gt;C. f. minor&lt;/em&gt; was completed at six stages including egg, three larval instars, pupa and adult. Duration of the development for one generation (not considering preoviposition period) was 43-46 days for males and 38- 42 days for females. The developmental time length for the egg, larval instars1-3, pupa, male and female adults longevity, preoviposition and postoviposition periods was 8.8 &lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 11pt LINE-HEIGHT: 115% FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Calibri&#039;,&#039;sans-serif&#039;
