Rhagovelia medinae sp. nov., of the hambletoni group (angustipes complex), and R. utria hirtipes (robusta are described, illustrated, compared with similar congeners. Based on examination type specimens, six new synonymies proposed: elegans Uhler, 1894 = pediformis Padilla-Gil, 2010, syn. nov.; cauca Polhemus, 1997 azulita 2009, huila oporapa nov, quilichaensis 2011, gaigei, Drake Hussey, 1947 victoria 2012 nov.

Hydrometra colombiana Martínez and Galindo-Malagón, sp. nov., H. tayrona quimbaya nov. are described compared with congeners. Furthermore, the female of williamsi Hungerford Evans, 1934 male adnexa described. New records from Colombia a key to species Latreille, 1796 recorded country presented.
Water striders of the genus Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Veliidae) have colonized water surface mainly in lotic freshwater systems, but also coastal marine environments. They are characterized by swimming fan distal tarsomere middle leg that allows them to quickly maneuver. In Americas, it was subdivided into four monophyletic complexes (angustipes, collaris, obesa and robusta), one paraphyletic grade (abrupta), each with several groups species, additional group (varipes)....
Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Veliidae) is a diverse genus of small to medium-sized true bugs that live on the surface water, preferentially in lotic environments with moderate strong current. The angustipes species complex particularly speciose Colombia, and has recently been subject revision. Nonetheless, new are still being discovered country. We present here description andradei sp. nov., collected eastern Colombian Andes, records for three other species, R. calceola,...
Esta investigación registra las especies de chinches semiacuáticas (Hemiptera: Gerromorpha) la franja costera del Parque Nacional Natural Utría (Chocó, Colombia). Durante una salida campo en el mes febrero 2019, se recolectaron individuos diferentes tipos hábitats: ensenada, manglar, playa y quebrada. En cada hábitat hicieron recolectas por medio redes entomológicas acuáticas, con un esfuerzo muestreo dos horas/hombre. Se lograron recolectar 192 individuos, donde 93% fue determinado a...
