The genus Trigonotylus is represented alone in Egyptian fauna of the tribe stenodemini (Mirinae). In the present work, all Egyptian species of this genus (T. pukbellus, I ru/iicornis, T brevipes, r pallidicornis and T. aegypdus) were described, measured, figured, keyed, given syonoyms and geographical distribuation. The last species was described for the first time as a new species.
