Abstract	Adults of Megabruchidius tonkineus (Pic, 1904) emerged in the laboratory from pods of Gleditsia triacanthos collected in January and in October 2001 at the very centre of Budapest. It is likely that this tropical species is able to over-winter outdoors at least in urban surroundings of Hun-gary. The possible economic importance is discussed. This bruchid species has been described by M. Pic (1904) as Laria tonkinea after adults collected in " Tonkin " that was at that time a French colony (today the Northern part of Viet-nam) with the capital city of Ha-noi. The species was later named by Wendt (1980) as Bruchidius tonkineus, finally Borowiec (1984) re-described and transferred it to the genus Megabruchidius Borowiec (1984) belonging to the tribe Acanthoscelidini. Data on distribution and host plants of M. tonkineus are almost non-existent. Pic (1904) briefly remarked that it was " common " in Tonkin, however, he provided no data on its biology. Wendt (1980) reported that adults were found in " Karl-Marx Stadt " (= Chemnitz), Germany, in a hotel room where they were thought to had been introduced by " the white seeds of an unknown Phaseolus species " originating from Vietnam. Wendt supposed that this tropical species would not be able to acclimate in Germany. Borowiec (1984: 126) examined " two males and author's collection. " No other published data on this species are known to us. The main abstracting journal of agricultural entomology issued monthly since 1915, the Review of Applied Entomology, have not mentioned any publication on this species so far.
