Abstract

Specimens of Varroa mite, Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman were collected from Egypt and Libya to compare their morphological and morphometric characters. Females were examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Our morphological measurements showed that there were a lot of differences between samples of Egypt and Libya. Only two morphological characters showed significant differences among the two locations specimens' (i.e. anal plate length, anal plate length/ anal plate width (ratio III) and formula of palpal chaetotaxy).These results may be due to geographical locations between Egypt and Libya. We consider samples of Egypt and Libya as morphotypes
