Abstract

However, specimens of thirty seven species only were available whether collected during the present work from different parts of Egypt and / or preserved at the Egyptian Insect Collections. Twenty two species of this tribe were not available, but their diagnostic characters were introduced in this work according to previous investigators. This study was planned to identify and to determine the recent taxonomic status of this group of mylabrin species for the first time in Egypt. An illustrated key was given for all mylabrin genera and species.
