Grammotichus aegypticus sp.n. (Mari : Glycyphagidae) was collected from stored maize in Sahel Road El-Farag, Cairo. Adult and immature stages were described in details. This species was successfully reared on dog food, dry yeast, powder of meat and pupal powder of fruit flies Ceratitis capitate at 18 and 25°C. Duration of life-cycle averaged 40.7, 47.7, 54.7 and 63.3 days at 18°C, while at 25°C, it was 20.5, 243, 31.8 and 35.3 days on the aforementioned diets, respectively. A normal female laid 62.0, 60.0, 55.5 and 40.3 eggs at 18°C and 89.6, 84.9, 59.9 and 50.0 eggs at 25°C on the above-mentioned diets, respectively.
