Abstract

ABSTRACT: We describe two new species of Cheiroseius, based primarily on the morphology of adult females – Cheiroseius oasisensis Abo-Shnaf & Nasr sp. nov . and C. roystoneae Nasr & Abo-Shnaf sp. nov . We also provide a complementary description of Cheiroseius necorniger (Oudemans 1903) and note differences between this specimen and C. necorniger . A key is given to the Cheiroseius species of Egypt. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:95F75176-4E34-4AE5-AC4B-103070FD171E http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:C9F67E21-0CB8-4BFE-9C1E-6488035CACB1 http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:BEF30E61-9ED7-4A83-9EB2-0B8FB885ABA9
