A survey of aquatic and terrestrial malacophagous insects was carried out during 2001-2004 seasons in certain Governorates in Egypt where the molluscs are commonly distributed. This survey revealed the existence of 17 species of aquatic malacophagous insects and 16 species of terrestrial ones ; the last group included one species attacking slugs. All these species are considered bio-control agents of harmful snails and thus are recommended to be utilized in this respect.
