| Abstract | ||
| Cosmolaelaps paravacua Nasr and Nawar and Stratiolaelaps miles (Evans) were found in organic manure on the farm at Giza. The duration of their developmental stages and reproduction were determined. Cosmolaelaps paravacua was fed, developed and reproduced on the free-living nematode, Rhabditis scanica, acarid mite, Rhizoglyphus robini Claparede and Cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis (Biosd.). Acarid mite resulting in the greatest reproduction for the former, and the free living nematode was the best for both. | ||
