The original description of Brevipalpus californicus was given by Banks (1904) from Redlands, California, and placed under the genus Brevipalpus by McGregor (1949). In Egypt, this species was reported as Brevipalpus australis Tucker by Attiah (1956), and re-described by Zaher (1984) as B. californicus (Banks). Our study agrees with the last mentioned identification.Published as part of Halawa, Alaa M. & Fawzy, Magdy M., 2014, A new species of Brevipalpus Donnadieu (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) and key to the Egyptian species, pp. 87-95 in Zootaxa 3755 (1) on page 92, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3755.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/28547
