Abstract
In Egypt, subfamily Alticinae represented by 44 species within 13 genera (Alfieri; 1976). The present work - includes twenty one species in eight genera from this group. In addition to three species, Altica bicarinata (Kutschera), Epitnx Pnesneu (Heikertinger) and Psylliodes saukyi Allard, were added (or the first time to the Egyptian fauna and introduced as new records in this study. Credit of determination of alticins is due to Dr. Furth (Smithsonian Institute, U.S.A.) and Dr. Doberl (Museum Sbvania). This study was planned to identify and to determine the recent taxonomic status of this group of alticin species, with illustrated plates, for the first time in Egypt. Keys are given for all alticn genera and for the species of each genus represented in this work.
