| Abstract | ||
| In a field survey, 16 eriophyoid mite species were collected from eight species of fruit trees, among which two species were found to be new record to Egypt. They were Tegolophus guavae (Boczek, 1960) on Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) which causes rust on leaves, and Aceria ziziphi Mohanasundaram, 1990, vagrant without damage on Ziziphus spina-christi Willd (Rhamnaceae). These species were redescribed and illustrated from local material. A total of 65 eriophyoid mite species in superfamily Eriophyoidea has been recorded in Egypt due to literature. These species belong to three families, seven sub families, seven tribes and 27 genera. A list of these species has been constructed and presented herein. | ||
