A new species, new synonymy, and notes on Neomacrocoris (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha: Naucoridae) Author Sites, Robert W. text Zootaxa 2015 3964 5 553 560 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3964.5.5 4f112a05-c7d7-41f0-8b5f-257719c074f5 1175-5326 239445 B0C004B6-6A26-44DD-9597-EFDC9CF8B55A Neomacrocoris parviceps (Montandon) Macrocoris parviceps Montandon 1900 : Termé. Füz. 23: 422. Neomacrocoris parviceps : Montandon 1913 , Bul. Soc. Rom. Ştiinţe, 22: 332. Discussion . This species is widespread throughout much of Africa; thus, it is variable in its expression. It is known from the Ivory Coast ( Sites & Mbogho 2012 ) east to Sudan ( Linnavuori 1981 ) and south through the Democratic Republic of Congo ( Poisson 1948 , 1949 ) and Tanzania ( Mbogho & Sites 2013 ) to South Africa ( Sites & Mbogho 2012 ). Reported here are the first records of this species from Morogoro Region of Tanzania and Mbale District in eastern Uganda . The limited previous Uganda records were from Jinja District and Namanve Swamp, both near the northern end of Lake Victoria. I collected in Namanve Swamp in August 2013 (L-1636); the swamp has been destroyed for commercial interests to the point that less than 1% of the swamp remained. No specimens of Neomacrocoris were collected in the small tract of remaining swamp. However, further north in Kapchorwa and Mbale districts, I collected several adult and immature specimens in small, muddy agricultural streams in the mountains. In Morogoro Region of Tanzania , many specimens were collected in the muddy, vegetated margins of streams. Material examined.
