Abstract
Eighty two mite species were recorded in association with forty two insect species belonging to eight insect orders in Sharkeia governorate, Egypt. Those mites belong to 55 genera, 26 families, four suborders; Gamasida, Actinedida, Acaridida and Oribatida. The relationships between the collected mites and insects are classified into six categories; parasitism, parasitodism, protelean parasitism, predatism, phoresy and fungivorous mites, some of these mites can play a great role in suppressing population of some insect pests.
