Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Science - Department of Entomology Summary: The taxonomy of the superfamily Psylloidea in Egypt is studied. Twenty six species in four families and fifteen genera are treated: Brachystetha Loginova, 1964 (one species); Caillardia De Bergevin, 1931 (one species); Colposcenia Enderlein, 1929 (three species); Crastina Loginova, 1964 (two species); Blastopsylla Taylor, 1985 (one species) (Aphalaridae); Diaphorina Löw, 1880 (four species); Euphyllura Förster, 1848 (one species) (Liviidae); Acizzia Heslop-Harrison, 1961 (one species); Pachyparia Loginova, 1967 (one species); Cacopsylla Ossiannilsson, 1970 (two species); Livilla Curtis, 1836 (one species); Pseudacanthopsylla Samy, 1972 (one species) (Psyllidae); Bactericera Puton, 1876 (three species); Heterotrioza Dobreanu & Manolache, 1960 (one species), and Pauropsylla Rübsaamen, 1899 (three species) (Triozidae). The genus Brachystetha Loginova, 1964 is recorded herein for the first time from Egypt with a single species Brachystetha nitrariae Loginova, 1964 recently collected from Hurghada (Red Sea Governorate). Illustrated keys for the Egyptian families, genera and species, and diagnoses for the recorded taxa are also given. Some ecological considerations, including the species composition and geographical distribution of psyllids in Egypt, have been assessed. The abundance of Heterotrioza chenopodii (Reuter, 1876) in different ecological zones on various host plants, and their monthly abundance in Wadi El-Natroun is monitored throughout three successive seasons from 2014 to 2017. The negative binomial regression analysis showed that the abundance of H. chenopodii is more dependent on the host plants ({2=61.5, P<0.001) than ecological zones ({2=11.9, P=0.018). Density of H. chenopodii in Wadi El-Natroun showed a bimodal seasonal pattern with two peaks of adult abundance: spring (April) and late fall (December)
