Trichoniscoides sarsi was observed for the first time in Belgium on the 16th of April 2000. The species was found in loose clay on the side of a ditch in the creek area of Assenede. A second observation was made on the 20th of July 2000 in Nieuwpoort, where the animal was found under a drifted woodblock in the supralittoral of the river Ijzer in the nature reserve 'De Ijzermonding'. In the present paper the species is briefly described and some notes on the distribution and the habitat are given. With this species the number of terrestrial isopods in Belgium has risen to 33.
