Se presentan dos hallazgos recientes de Tongorma de Botsuana y Zambia. Se da información adicional acerca de la distribución de Tongorma latreillii y Tongorma tetrapterum. Palabras clave: África, distribución, Hemiptera. The genus Tongorma Kirkaldy, 1900 within the tribe Phyllomorphini of the Coreidae includes seven species (CoreoideaSF Team 2018) which are distributed in Africa (including Madagascar), respectively Asia. So far, Tongorma latreillii (Guérin-Méneville, 1839) has been reported from Botswana, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Yemen and Zambia (Guérin-Méneville 1839; Stål 1858; Blöte 1935; Dolling 2006; Kment and Rédei 2013; Voigt 2014; van der Heyden 2015; Krüger and Deckert 2016). Most of these reports refer to just a few records from the 19 th century and the early 20 th century. Therefore, a recent record from Botswana should be published here to conirm the presence of T. latreillii in this country. Tony Benn photographed a specimen of T. latreillii found near Serowe, Central District, located in the central-eastern part of Botswana on 12-XII-2012 (Fig. 1). The photograph was irst published in the online database iNaturalist (Benn 2018). Tony Benn wrote: “My Serowe home near where the bug was collected is right on the edge of the residential area of very rocky hillside with a gentle gradient which is heavily overgrazed.” (personal comment). Furthermore, on 26-VI-2018 Stephen Wain observed and photographed a specimen belonging to the genus Tongorma in the South Luangwa National Park, Muchinga Province, situated in the north-eastern part of Zambia (Fig. 2). The photograph was irst published in the online database Project Noah (Wain 2018). This specimen might belong to T. latreillii or to the related species Tongorma tetrapterum (Gerstaecker, 1873), so far reported from Kenya and Tanzania (Voigt 2014). Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine it unequivocally. www.biotaxa.org/rce Revista Chilena de Entomología (2018) 44 (3): 303-305.
