Abstract: Two new species of the nasocorine plant bug genus Campylomma Reuter, 1878 inhabiting cryptic habitats are described, namely, Campylomma marinum Yasunaga & Ito, sp. nov. (from vulnerable seashore vegetation in Oita Pref., SW Japan) and C. singapura Yasunaga, Yap & Hwang, sp. nov. (from urbanized zones in Singapore). The host plant association and natural history are documented for each new species with images of the live individuals. A checklist of Campylomma species currently known in the Oriental Region and Japan Archipelago is also provided.
