Abstract
Mites inhabiting citrus orchards in Egypt were listed. The checklist, compiled from a survey of published literature, contains 149 mite species representing 39 families. It is expected that the number of the Egyptian mite species inhabiting different citrus cultivations will increase as comprehensive surveys continue. The most diverse order, Prostigmata, is represented by 95 species followed by, Mesostigmata, with 37 species. The families with the most citrus mite species known from Egypt are the Phytoseiidae and Tetranychidae with 18 and 12 species.
