The data on the first records of two little-known species of true bugs (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) in Uzbekistan are given in the article. Sarju pavlovskii (Kiritshenko, 1952) (Pentatomidae), previously known from a few records from Afghanistan and Tajikistan, was found in the Khorazm Region. Xanthochilus melanopus Kiritshenko & Scudder, 1973, previously known only from type series from northern Tajikistan and southern Kyrgyzstan, was found in Jizzak Region. Both species are reported for the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the first time. S. pavlovskii was first time found outside the mountain areas (in the Amudarya River valley), which may show a wide distribution of the species or a trend to its dispersal. For X. melanopus, information on habitats is given for the first time.
