Abstract
This investigation was carried out to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of soil mites at El-Maghara region, Sinai
Peninsula, Egypt. Soil samples to depth 20cm were collected from different orchards, olive, citrus, fig and vine.
Eighteen soil mite species in 18 genera and 16 families were found. Gamasida was represented by seven families, while
Actinedida, Acaridida and Oribatida were represented by five, one and three families, respectively. Shannon Wiener
index (H'), Pielou's (J') and dominant analysis were estimated. Diversity index showed that actinedid mites have been
found as numerically among the soil mites by 7 species and 222 individuals.
