Abstract

A new species of the genus Chumma Jocqué, 2001, C. foordisp. nov., is described from the Western Cape, South Africa. New distribution records for C. bicolor Jocqué & Alderweireldt, 2018, C. foliata Jocqué & Alderweireldt, 2018 and C. gastroperforata Jocqué, 2001 are presented. The genus is recorded from the Northern Cape Province for the first time, extending its range extensively to the northwest by approximately 450 km. The distribution of all Chumma species is mapped.
