So, the study aimed to undergo survey, taxonomy and behavior of the predacious gamasid mites in various locations from Egypt. In addition to importance of this taxonomical and behavior work it helps us for selecting the precise predator to suppress the target pest.Taxonomical studies during the present work included 80 predatory mite species belonging to 12 families and 7 super families collected from soil, root, debris and dung animals throughout fourteen Governorates. Studies also included description of the four new predacious mites (Protogamasellopsis aegypticus, Proprioseiopsis aegypticus, Proprioseiopsis guajavus and Proprioseiopsis damiettansis), two firstly record in Egypt (Protogamasellopsis corticalis and Gamasholaspis gamasoides) and re-description of immature stages, adult female and male of the common predacious mite Protogamasolopsis denticuspredatory mites
