Abstract

This paper deals with the description of Proprioseiopsis salviae n. sp. (Acari: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) on the basis of adult females and male. The new mite species was collected from the soil underneath some ornamental plants, at Orman Botanical Garden, Giza governorate, Egypt. Mites were extracted using Modified Tullgren funnel and mounted on microscope glass-slides on Hoyer’s medium for identification. A key to the identification of Egyptian species of Proprioseiopsis is provided.
