Abstract
Two subfamilies of Egyptian Ptinid were taxonomically studied during this work, the first subfamily Dorcatominae represented by one species, Synanobium parmatum and the second subfamily Anobiinae represented by five species, Oligomerus ptilinoides, Stegobium paniceum, Gastrallus pubens, Nicobium castaneiim, and Anobium punctatum. A key to the species together with diagnostic characters and illustrations are given for each species
Highlights
Ptinidae is member of Bostrichiformia, is a worldwide distributed, represented by approximately 250 genera, about 2800 species, present in different habitats, from forest to steppe, where they develop in living or dead tree or shrubs, in fungi or in other plants; some species are synanthropic, Zahradnik, (2009)
Some species feed in cones of conifers, some in twigs or vines, others in seeds, some in plant stems, a few in bark of various trees, and a very few have been bred from galls, White (1982)
Total length (TL) of specimens is here defined as the distance between anterior margin of clypeus and posterior apex of pygidium
