Data from previous literature were used to compile a checklist of the Egyptian fauna of Hydraenidae (Coleoptera). The checklist includes data on the type localities, type specimens, descriptors, distributions and previous literature for 15 valid species belonging to 3 genera (Hydraena, Limnebius and Ochthebius). Ochthebius was represented by 13 species, while Hydraena and Limnebius were represented only by a single species for each of them. The present study provides a summary that can serve as the basis for future progress in the knowledge of the Egyptian Hydraenidae.
以往文献中的数据被用于编制一份埃及水缨甲科（鞘翅目）动物的清单。该清单包含了3个属（水缨甲属、沼缨甲属和岸缨甲属）中15个有效物种的模式产地、模式标本、描述、分布及以往文献的数据。岸缨甲属有13个物种，而水缨甲属和沼缨甲属各仅有1个物种。本研究提供了一份总结，可作为未来埃及水缨甲科知识进一步发展的基础。
