The genus NeserellaMeyer & Ueckermann, 1989 is reported for the first time from Egypt based on newly collected samples of N. capreifoliaeMeyer & Ueckermann, 1989 vagrant on leaves of Ficus carica L. (Moraceae). Aceria sissoaesp. nov. collected from Dalbergia sissoo DC. (Leguminosae) vagrant on the undersurface of petals and pods causing rusting symptoms. Three new records, Aceria suriUeckermann, 1991 on leaves and buds of Ficus sycomorus L. (Moraceae) causing leaf blisters, Aceria tribuli (Keifer, 1974) vagrant on the stems and leaves of Tribulus terrestris L. (Zygophyllaceae), Aceria tumisetusMeyer & Ueckermann, 1992 vagrant on the upper side of the leaves of Gazania ringens (L.) Gaertn. (Compositae) are collected for the first time in Egypt. Also, a new species, Tegonotus caricussp. nov., was found on F. carica L. and herein described and illustrated. This is also the first record for the genus from Egypt.
