Abstract
A new false spider mite (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) species, Phytoptipalpus jubailensis n. sp., Khan, Kamran & Alatawi, is described and illustrated based on adult female, collected from Capparis decidua (Forssk.) Edgew. (Capparaceae). The genus Obuloides Baker & Tuttle is recorded for the first time from Saudi Arabia, with the record of O. inquilinus Ueckermann, Theron & Tiedt, from Haloxylon salicornicum (Moq.) Bunge ex Boiss (Amaranthaceae). In addition, two new records of species in the genus Aegyptobia Sayed, A. hamus Chaudhri and A. abuzabiensis Meyer & Van Dis, are presented from Kaviria lachnantha (Botsch.) Akhani (Amaranthaceae), and H. salicornicum (Moq.) Bunge ex Boiss. (Amaranthaceae), respectively.
