An updated checklist of cheyletid mites (Acariformes: Cheyletidae) of Egypt is provided. The list was compiled from a survey of published literature and from examining some previously described species. The list of the Egyptian Cheyletidae includes now 5 tribes, 15 genera, 27 species, one genus inquirenda (Aegyptocheyla Yousef) and five species inquirendae (Acaropsellina tyrophagus El-Badry, Cheletomimus minutus Soliman, Chiapacheylus desertorum Zaher and Soliman, C. macrocorneus Zaher and Soliman and Neoeucheyla macrocorneus Soliman). A key to the Egyptian cheyletids is also presented.
