Abstract | ||||
A histiostomatid hypopi, Histiostoma shandaweeli sp. nov., was collected from the garlic plants cultivated in the farm of Shandaweel Agricultural Research Station, Sohag governorate, Egypt. The alive hypopi were transferred into the laboratory to study the complete life cycle of this species under laboratory conditions on suitable food (this study will be published in a separate paper). The appropriate numbers of males and females, as well as deutonymphs, were obtained for the present taxonomical study. Adults (males and females) and the deutonymphal stage are described and illustrated hereunder. | ||||
