A new species of Macrelmis Motschulsky, 1859 (Macrelmis rodrigoi sp. nov.) is described and illustrated based on specimens found in mountainous areas the northern Roraima State, Brazil. Pagelmis amazonica Spangler, 1981, Potamophilops bostrychophallus Maier, 2013 Stegoelmis geayi 1990 are recorded Brazil for first time records Gyrelmis obesa Hinton, 1940, thorpei 1945 Neolimnius palpalis 1939 presented.
A list of Elmidae species from Amazon is presented. The was prepared based on a literature survey and examination the entomological collection Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). includes 102 species, with ten new occurrences recorded, being one for (which areas Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Guyana, French Peru, Suriname Venezuela) three Amazonas state, six other localities in Brazil. Reports about bibliography contents were also included, as well available municipalities...
A taxonomic key for the genera of Elmidae (Coleoptera, Byrrhoidea) occurring in Goiás State, Brazil, including new records and distributional notes. Despite their great diversity high abundance Neotropical aquatic environments, fauna remains practically unknown some areas even entire biomes this region. In work we bring, first time, faunistic data central Brazil. The aim was to inventory central, southwestern southeastern Brazil produce a key, at genus level, adults from studied presented...
Abstract Potamophilops bragaorum sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on adult specimens collected in a mountainous area the Cerrado biome Taquaruçú district, Tocantins state, Brazil. This second species genus it represents northernmost record of Potamophilops, which known only from Argentina In this article we provide diagnosis, details morphology images habitus structures used to determine distinguish gender. Field observations permitted description some aspects biology new that...
Elmidae is one of the most diverse families aquatic beetles, with more than 1500 species in 151 genera. The Neotropical genus Portelmis formerly comprised five known from Central and northern South America, divided into two groups. Three new Brazilian nevermanni group are described illustrated here: vanini sp. nov., krolowi nov. fusariae New records for North, Central-West Southeast Brazil presented. We also provide first SEM images an updated key species.
Three new species of Macrelmis Motschulsky, 1859 (Macrelmis bispo sp. nov., froehlichi and nessimiani nov.) are herein described illustrated. The were collected from several streams in Goiás State, Brazil, a formerly unknown region concerning Elmidae fauna. We also provide an updated key for the Brazil.
Two new species of the genus Stegoelmis Hinton, 1939, S. figueiredoensis sp. nov. from Amazonas State, Brazil and shepardi Roraima Saint Laurent Du Maroni, French Guiana, are described illustrated based on adult specimens. This work also provides a taxonomic key to males known Brazil.
The genus Portelmis Sanderson, 1953 and the species P. gurneyi Spangler, 1980 are reported for first time in Brazil. kinonatilis sp. nov. paulicruzi described illustrated based on adult specimens collected two different municipalities state of Amazonas, Diagnoses illustrations all species, a taxonomic key to identify males presented.
Hintonelmis anamariae sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on adult specimens collected in Presidente Figueiredo Municipality, Amazonas State, Brazil. This species can be distinguished from all other known by its dorsal color pattern the morphology of male genitalia.
In this study we provide an updated list of Plecoptera based on recent collections covering areas from northern to southeastern Tocantins state, Brazil.

ABSTRACT The genus Stenhelmoides comprises 15 species spread over all Central and South America its greatest richness is clearly associated with Amazonian regions. Based on examination of type specimens additional material, we describe illustrate the true male genitalia strictifrons, which had until now been incorrectly illustrated in literature. We also report new records from Brazil Guyana. In addition to pictures species’ habitus, provide grandis, S. grouvellei, guyanensis; strictifrons...
Portelmis guianensis sp. nov. is a new member of the gurneyi–group. It was collected in Sinnamary, northern French Guiana. The species externally similar to other members genus, but males deviate considerably by shape aedeagus. A detailed description and figures are given facilitate easy identification species. In addition, we have modified key for P. gurneyi–group Fernandes et al. (2010) including genus Sanderson, 1935 now contains 5 members.
ABSTRACT Xenelmis is one of the 51 Neotropical genera aquatic beetle family Elmidae and currently represented by 15 species distributed throughout Neotropics. This genus tiny beetles especially well in South America, where all but can be found, Brazil has greatest richness, with ten recorded so far. Here we describe illustrate tuchaua sp. nov., a new remarkable sexual dimorphism unique diagnostic characteristics. The was found an Amazonian stream located Mount Roraima National Park, state,...
