Abstract
The Egyptian fauna of family Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) is reviewed. Three species belonging to two genera; Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) navasi (Andreu, 1911), Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) nervosus (Fabricius, 1793) and Sympherobius (Sympherobius) fallax  Navas, 1908  are recognized, with the first species is a new record for the Neuroptera fauna of Egypt. Male genetalia of W. navasi and W. nervosus are dissected and photographed. A key to Egyptian taxa is included together with color images. Synonyms, diagnoses, specimen examined and distributional data are also given.
