Abstract

Tribe Palorini is represented in the world by 12 genera; It’s represented in Egyptian fauna by one genus (Palorus) belonging to 3 species. The species of tribe Palorini with different sizes, colors, and lifestyles is vital to the functioning of each environment inhabits. Their extraordinary capacity to live in a wide range of environmental circumstances is highlighted by their adaptations to varied environments, which span from forests to deserts. Adult Palous beetles eat both fresh and decaying vegetation, including vegetable produce, and some species are commercially important pests of flour and other cereal products. The larvae of Palous beetles are cylindrical to slightly flattened, with a heavily sclerotized head and all visible tergites or only the head and abdominal apex.

A key to species is presented to facilitate recognition the species. A diagnosis of tribe and genus, full description for species and illustration of taxonomic character are involved.
