Abstract

The present study reports four new records of eriophyid mites collected from Egypt during 2012 to 2015. Cecidophyopsis rosmarinusis Wang & Elhalawany, 2014 was on Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Lamiaceae); Stenacis palomaris Keifer, 1970 was on Salix babylonica  L. and S. matsudana Thunb (Salicaceae); Epitrimerus saudiarabis  Wang & Elhalawany, 2014 was on  Phoenix  dactylifera  L. (Arecaceae);  Epitrimerus  cupressi  Keifer, 1939  was on  Cupressus sempervirens  L. (Cupressaceae).    The genera Cecidophyopsis and Stenacis are new records for Egyptian fauna. These species are vagrants on leaves without any damage except the second species (S. palomaris) which causes witches' broom of terminal twigs of the host plant. Illustrations of the four species are provided. Three phytoseiid mite species (i.e.  Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski &Amitai), Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) athiasae Porath &Swirski (Acari: Phytoseiidae)), were  found in association with the recorded eriophyid mites on the mentioned host plants during this survey.
