Setae j1 22, j3 34, j4 29, j5 32, j6 39, J2 47, J5 9, z2 27, z3 37, z4 44, z5 31, Z4 47, Z5 56, s4 44, s6 49, S2 49, S4 49, S5 14, r3 35, R1 43. Dorsal idiosomal setae serrate and distally knobbed, except J5 and S5, smooth and sharp-tipped. Peritreme extending to region between z2 and z3.
Venter. Distances between st1–st1 48, st2–st2 53, st3–st3 57, st4–st4 53, st5–st5 42. Ventrianal shield subtriangular, with transverse striae ( Fig. 78 View FIGURES 77 – 79 ); 116 long and 165 wide at anterior corners; with three pairs of preanal setae and a pair of pre-anal pores. Seta JV5 57.
Gnathosoma. Movable cheliceral digit 24 long, with one tooth; fixed digit 25 long, with two teeth; dorsal and lateral lyrifissures distinct. Shaft of spermatodactyl 27 long ( Fig. 77 View FIGURES 77 – 79 ).
Legs. Macrosetae knobbed-tipped: Sge IV 23, Sti IV 22, St IV 41; chaetotaxy of genua II and III as in female.
Specimens examined. Five females and one male from soil under cucumber plant, at Etay El Baroud, Beheira governorate, June 2005 (coll. A.A. Mohamed); one female from same substrate, at Giza governorate, January 2005 (coll. R.I.A. Abo-Shnaf).
Previous records from Egypt. as T. pectinatus —unspecified governorate (Zaher & Shehata, 1969); as T. transvaalensis —Alexandria, Cairo, Giza and Ismailia governorates ( Zaher, 1986); Asyut, Beni Suef, Damietta, Monufia and Qualyubia governorates ( Nasr et al., 2011).
Remarks. Typhlodromus transvaalensis was originally described from the holotype female and a paratype female collected in South Africa. The original description was reasonably detailed, with illustrations but no measurements; complementary descriptions were listed by Demite et al. (2014). Typhlodromus pectinatus was originally described from the holotype female collected in Algeria. The original description was rather detailed, with illustrations and setal measurements. Measurements of the specimens examined are close to those provided by Swirskii et al. (1998).
