Abstract Introduction Additional information on the distribution of eleven spe- Stilt bugs (Berytidae) are a small group within the cies of stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) from the Afro- pentatomomorphan Heteroptera, with less than tropical region is reported and discussed with respect to 200 species described so far (Ca i & Bu 2011, the major biomes of Africa. For some species, remarks on ecology, identification and taxonomy are included.

The Berytidae are widely distributed in all canthus trichoferus, Cametanthus madagascariensis, zoogeographic regions, with 39 species reported Metacanthus microphthalmus, M. mollis, M. nitidus, from the Afrotropical Region (He n r y & Fr o e s ch - Neostusakia picticornis and Yemma gracilis. n e r 1998).
