Abstract

Minosiella intermedia Denis, 1958, from the family Gnaphosidae, is recorded from Egypt (Sadat City), and thereby the African continent, for the first time. The record, originating from a drip-irrigated pomegranate orchard, is based only on male specimens. It is the fourth recorded species of the genus Minosiella Dalmas, 1921 in Egypt. Diagnostic drawings and images of the copulatory organs are presented together with a depiction of the habitat.
