Material examined: Holotypc (1398-HT-91): Egypt, Shebin ElKom, Experimental farm station of Menoufia University. From ptiliid beetles. May-June, 1991. Leg. A M. Zaki. 6 paratypes from the same sample. Holotype and 3 paratypes (1398-PT-91) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, 2 paratypes in the Menoufia University, Egypt and 1 paratype in the Muséum d'Histoire naturelle, Geneva. Remarks: On the basis of the position of the epimeral setae 4a and 4b the new species resembles Scutacarus calcaratus Storkán, 1936 descibed from Bulgaria. However, it is well distinguishable from the latter by the ratio of the dorsal setae and the conspicuously long solenidium on tarsus II. Figs 1-3. Scutacarus emadi sp.n. - 1: dorsal side, 2: leg II, 3: leg I
