New records are presented for eleven species of Gerromorpha and ten Nepomorpha, including first from Venezuela (Brachymetra lata, Limnogonus hyalinus, Rhagovelia evidis, Tenagobia peruana, Limnocoris burmeisteri, L. fittkaui fittkaui, Placomerus micans, Martarega gonostyla), the Venezuelan State Bolívar (Cylindrostethus palmaris, R. elegans, tenuipes, Ambrysus stali), Brazilian Bahia (Martarega bentoi), Peru (Euvelia lata), Peruvian Region Arequipa (Microvelia pulchella).
The Neotropical saucer bug species Ambrysus maldonadus La Rivers and montandoni originally were placed in Stål despite aberrant physiognomies features inconsistent with the genus. These two are herein transferred from to Carvalhoiella De Carlo new combinations. Further, (Picrops) usingeri represents a monotypic subgenus, which is elevated full generic status. As such, Picrops status for this second of Guiana Shield described. In addition, male brunneus Sites described comparison character...
The genus Steinovelia Polhemus Polhemus, 1993 is distributed from southeastern Canada to northeastern Argentina and has been considered contain five valid species: S. permista (Drake, 1951a), placida stagnalis (Burmeister, 1835), vinnula 1951b) virgata (White, 1879a). We present here a revision of the with redescriptions permista, stagnalis, vinnula, virgata, synonymy key, distribution maps, photographs all species.
Oiovelia johnpolhemi sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on macropterous specimens collected in Mexico Belize. This species the tenth of genus, represents its first record outside South America. An updated identification key distribution maps all are presented. Finally, photographs form O. spumicola Spangler presented for time.
A survey of the semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) from Alagoas and Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, is presented. Specimens have been obtained mainly during three expeditions carried out in 2018 2019. Individuals 40 species, representing following 18 genera five families recorded: Brachymetra Mayr, 1865, Cylindrostethus Limnogonus Stål, 1868, Neogerris Matsumura, 1913, Tachygerris Drake, 1957, Rheumatobates Bergroth, 1892, Halobatopsis Bianchi, 1896, Ovatametra Kenaga, 1942...
Although recent studies have been published on Ambrysinae (Naucoridae) from the Neotropical region, few efforts made to improve taxonomic knowledge of this subfamily in Brazil. Two genera containing greatest number species South America were recently established accommodate previously classified as Ambrysus Stål: Australambrysus Reynoso & Sites and Maculambrysus Sites. The subgeneric classification has also changed, including elevation Melloiella De Carlo back full generic status. In...
Eight new species of Paravelia Breddin, 1898 from Brazil are described and illustrated: P. amapaensis sp. nov. Amapá State, bipunctata Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul States, bilobata polhemusi bahiana Bahia lacrymosa Gerais micromaculata Maranhão ornata Amazonas State. The genus is redescribed, with photos the dorsal view for nineteen species: basalis (Spinola), biae Spangler, boliviana bullialata Polhemus & Polhemus, capillata (Drake& Harris), capixaba Moreira, Nessimian Rúdio,...
New records are presented for twenty-four species of Gerromorpha belonging to Gerridae (Brachymetra furva, B. lata, Cylindrostethus palmaris, Halobatopsis platensis, Limnogonus aduncus aduncus, L. ignotus, profugus, recurvus, Ovatametra minima, O. obesa, Tachygerris adamsoni and Neogerris lubricus), Mesoveliidae (Mesovelia zeteki Mesoveloidea williamsi) Veliidae (Microvelia longipes, Oiovelia brasiliensis, cunucunumana, Paravelia bullialata, P. capixaba, Platyvelia brachialis, Rhagovelia...
Semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) are distributed worldwide and play fundamental roles in limnic ecosystems. They the most successful group of organisms to occupy air-water interface, important models study ecology evolution, can be relevant tools biomonitoring. Veliidae is second speciose family semiaquatic bugs, but its internal classification, including subfamilies genera, artificial based on symplesiomorphies. One these non-monophyletic entities Paravelia Breddin,...
Abstract Four new species of Paravelia Breddin (Hemiptera: Veliidae) from Brazil are described and illustrated: bachmanni P. bromelicola the states São Paulo Santa Catarina; luederwaldti state Paulo; digitata Bahia Rio Grande do Norte; totalling 61 valid for genus. Two ( ) bromeliad inhabitants, a key to eight bromeliadicolus genus is provided. In addition, based on type material, amoena (Drake), kahli (Drake Harris), nexa parilis Harris) re-described illustrated. Lastly, taxonomic...

The genus Carvalhoiella De Carlo, 1963 includes saucer bugs (Heteroptera: Naucoridae) that live predominantly on the vertical rocks next to falls and cascades of waterfalls. Thus far, it has been recorded only in South America three described species. In present paper, based type specimens additional material, we detailed distributions diagnostic information species descriptions two new from central-western Brazil: C. acuminata sp. nov. helenae An illustrated taxonomic key also is presented.
