Let N be a near-ring with identity 1 and \(M_{n}(N)\) be the near-ring of \(n\times n\) matrices over N for an arbitrary natural number n. The main aims of this paper are to introduce and study the notions of quasi-ideal and equiprime quasi-ideal of a near-ring N. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of quasi-ideals of N and the set of full quasi-ideals of matrix near-ring \(M_{n}(N).\) Furthermore, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of equiprime quasi-ideals of N and the set of equiprime quasi-ideals of matrix near-ring \(M_{n}(N).\)
