Dorsal setae smooth, except Z4 and Z 5, slightly serrate. Peritreme extending to level of j3.

Venter. Sternal shield smooth, with few lateral striae, with two pairs of setae and two pairs of lyrifissures. Distances between st1–st1 57, 55; st2–st2 62, 60; st3–st3 73, 65; st4–st4 86, 68. Genital shield smooth, with lateral extentions; distance between st5–st5 70, 65. Ventrianal shield subpentagonal, reticulate; 119, 112 long, 94, 81 wide at ZV2 level and 81, 78 wide at level of anus; with four pairs of pre-anal setae and no pores. Seta JV5 65, 55. Ventral setae smooth. Two pairs of metapodal plates.

Spermatheca. Calyx of spermatheca cup-shaped, 18 long; atrium distinct.

Gnathosoma. Corniculi parallel to each other; basal width of corniculus 3, distance between bases of corniculi 8. Movable cheliceral digit 30, 29 long, with two teeth; fixed digit 30 long, with three teeth.

Legs. Macroseta blunt: Sge IV 31, 29; Sti IV 34, 29; St IV 56, 49; chaetotaxy of genu II 2, 2/1, 2/0, 1; genu III 1, 2/1, 2/0, 1.

Specimens examined. One female from mango leaves, at the Faculty of Agriculture Farm, Cairo University, Giza governorate, September 1977 (coll. M.A. Zaher); one female from castor bean leaves, at same locality, Decemmber 1977 (coll. M.A. Zaher).

Previous records from Egypt. Fayoum governorate ( Romeih et al., 2010b); Giza governorate ( El-Badry, 1967a, 1970; Zaher et al., 1973; Zaher, 1986; Romeih et al., 2010b); Ismailia governorate ( Zaher, 1986); unspecified governorate (Zaher & Shehata, 1969; Zaher et al., 1970).

Remarks. This species was originally described from Germany. The original description was very brief, without illustrations or measurements; complementary descriptions were listed by Demite et al. (2014), including redescriptions based on specimens collected in Egypt (Zaher & Shehata, 1969; El-Badry, 1970; Zaher, 1986). Measurements of the females examined are close to those reported by Chant & Yoshida-Shaul (1987) for the neotype specimen (except S2, 40 according to the authors); measurements of specimens examined also fit the corresponding ranges given by Ferragut et al. (2010) (except S2, 35–44 according to that authors).
