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.
