  During 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1912 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Bryobia 
  was 
  present 
  in 
  

   enormous 
  numbers 
  on 
  the 
  lebbek 
  trees 
  in 
  and 
  near 
  Cairo 
  and 
  at 
  

   Helwan, 
  attacking 
  almost 
  every 
  leaf 
  and 
  imparting 
  a 
  bleached 
  or 
  

   dusty 
  appearance 
  to 
  the 
  trees. 
  The 
  author 
  first 
  noticed 
  this 
  Bryobia 
  

   in 
  1911, 
  on 
  a 
  small 
  tree 
  at 
  Ghezireh. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  

   " 
  red 
  spider 
  " 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1904 
  by 
  Draper 
  as 
  very 
  common 
  in 
  

   Upper 
  Egypt 
  on 
  lebbek 
  trees 
  in 
  1903. 
  What 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  

   same 
  species 
  also 
  occurs 
  on 
  citrus 
  trees, 
  plum 
  and 
  castor 
  oil 
  plants, 
  

   poplar 
  trees, 
  and 
  convolvulus. 
  The 
  common 
  red 
  spider 
  or 
  spinning 
  

   mite, 
  Tetranychus 
  telariue, 
  L., 
  frequently 
  injures 
  plants 
  in 
  Egypt. 
  

   Two 
  mites 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Tenuipalpus 
  occur 
  on 
  pomegranate 
  

   and 
  privet. 
  The 
  species 
  on 
  pomegranate 
  is 
  related 
  to 
  T. 
  pabnatus. 
  

   Another 
  species 
  of 
  a 
  bright 
  scarlet 
  colour 
  and 
  related 
  to 
  Tenuipalpus 
  

   pulcher, 
  Can. 
  and 
  Fanz., 
  lives 
  in 
  small 
  circular 
  pustules 
  which 
  it 
  

   forms 
  on 
  the 
  bark 
  of 
  the 
  trunk 
  and 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  sunt 
  " 
  tree 
  

   {Acacia 
  arabica). 
  Five 
  species 
  of 
  gall-forming 
  mites 
  (Eriophyidae) 
  

   occur 
  in 
  Egypt, 
  one 
  on 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  following 
  host-plants 
  : 
  Acacia 
  

   arabica, 
  sycamore 
  fig, 
  Vitex 
  agnus 
  castus, 
  tamarisk, 
  and 
  vine. 
  Hypopus 
  

   spinitarsus, 
  Herm., 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  numbers 
  on 
  imported 
  hyacinth 
  

   bulbs 
  and 
  also 
  on 
  onions 
  believed 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  grown 
  in 
  Egypt. 
  

   Enormous 
  numbers 
  of 
  Pediculoides 
  ventricosus, 
  Newp., 
  a 
  beneficial 
  

   mite 
  of 
  wide 
  distribution, 
  were 
  bred 
  from 
  cowpeas 
  infested 
  with 
  

   Bruchus 
  chinensis, 
  the 
  cowpea 
  beetle. 
  The 
  mites 
  had 
  destroyed 
  the 
  

   larvae 
  and 
  pupae 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  in 
  large 
  numbers. 
  The 
  author 
  a>lso 
  

   found 
  this 
  same 
  mite 
  feeding 
  on 
  the 
  pupa 
  of 
  a 
  Buprestid 
  beetle 
  on 
  a 
  

   fig-tree 
  at 
  Zagazig, 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  laboratory 
  on 
  the 
  

   larvae 
  of 
  Farias 
  insulana, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  pupae 
  of 
  Prodenia 
  Utiira.
