Abstract
This paper provides a complementary description of Kuzinellus niloticus (El-Badry) based on specimens recently collected on mandarin orange orchards, Citrus reticulata Blanco (Rutaceae) at Sohag governorate, Egypt. The mite specimens were extracted using modified Tullgren funnels. This predator could have a role as possible biological control agent for some pests on citrus trees.
