Abstract
Ten mite species were recorded dwelling in nests of the yellow wasp, Polistes gallica L. in different localities in Sharkeia Governorate, Egypt. Of these, six species of family Tarsonemidae, one species of Glycyphagidae and one species of Oppiidae. Those species are considered of uncertain feeding habits, they may be fungivorous, phoretic or may be responsible for transmitting certain insect pathogens or plant diseases.
The other two species belongs to the predacious families Raphignathidae and Cunaxidae. Conclusively, Surveying mites associated with nests of the yellow wasp, P. gallica were studied in different parts in Sharkeia Governorate, Egypt. Ten species were recorded belonging to five families and three suborders. Two major groups according to their feeding habits.
