Abstract: Records of 57 heteropteran species belonging to 17 families are listed from
Tunisia. The following seven species are recorded from Tunisia for the first
time: Reduvius testaceus (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1845), Geocoris confalonieri (de
Bergevin, 1932), Dieuches mucronatus (Stål, 1873), Ischnopeza hirticornis
(Herrich-Schaeffer, 1850), Stygnocoris fuligineus (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785),
Peribyssus scutellaris Puton, 1888, and Alphocoris pachycephalus de Bergevin,
1931. The occurrence of Oncocephalus pilicornis Reuter, 1882, and Blissus
hirtulus Burmeister, 1835 in Tunisia is confirmed.
