Key to known Centrouropoda species based on deutonymphs

Centrouropoda (Aegyptus) zaheri ( Abd El-Ghani, 2009) was not included in the present key because we were unable to check the deutonymphs of this species, the original description was based only on the adult female. Also Centrouropoda rackae Hirschmann, 1975 was not included because there is no available descriptions of deutonymphs of this species:
