  • revision of the american genus platyvelia polhemus polhemus 1993 heteroptera gerromorpha Veliidae
    Revista Brasileira De Entomologia, 2021
    Co-Authors: Higor D D Rodrigues, Carla Fernanda Burguez Floriano, Herbert Zettel, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo Moreira
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT The subfamily Veliinae (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) includes ten genera worldwide, seven of which are endemic to the American continent. Here, we provide a revision of Platyvelia Polhemus and Polhemus, 1993, which is distributed from the United States to northern Argentina, and included nine valid species prior to this study. Six species are redescribed, the synonymies of P. egregia (Drake and Harris, 1935) and P. verdica (Drake, 1951) with P. brachialis (Stal, 1860) are proposed, a lectotype is designated for P. annulipes, and two species groups are erected based on male characters: the P. annulipes group and the P. brachialis group. Keys to the species groups and species within each group, photos, and distribution maps are also included.

  • revision of the emrhagovelia em emangustipes em complex insecta hemiptera Veliidae from colombia
    Zootaxa, 2021
    Co-Authors: Ximena Alejandra Galindomalagon, Irina Morales, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo Moreira
    Abstract:

    Water striders of the genus Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Veliidae) have colonized the water surface mainly in lotic freshwater systems, but also in coastal marine environments. They are characterized by the swimming fan in the distal tarsomere of the middle leg that allows them to quickly maneuver. In the Americas, it was subdivided into four monophyletic complexes (angustipes, collaris, obesa and robusta), one paraphyletic grade (abrupta), each with several groups of species, and one additional group (varipes). However, the taxonomy of this genus still has inconsistencies due to its morphological complexity and to the misinterpretation of characters. For this reason, we present a revision of the species of the angustipes complex occurring in Colombia. Material deposited in nine biological collections was examined, including several types. A total of 3,674 specimens  were studied, belonging to 26 valid species, of which R. boyacensis sp. nov., R. graziae sp. nov. and R. molanoi sp. nov., are described as new; and R. angustipes Uhler, 1894 is recorded from the country for the first time. Furthermore, eleven species are redescribed and twelve are considered synonyms. Finally, a key to the species of the angustipes complex occurring in Colombia is presented, as well as updated distribution maps.

    Co-Authors: Dan A Polhemus, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo Moreira, Irina Morales, Fredy Molano, Carla Fernanda Burguez Floriano
    Abstract:

    The new genus Altavelia Polhemus & Moreira (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) includes seven species previously contained in the inveruglas group of Paravelia Breddin, 1898 and four new species from Colombia: A. altoandina Molano & Morales, A. antioquia Molano & Morales, A. montana Molano & Morales, and A. quindiana Molano & Morales. Additionally, A. amoena (Drake, 1957) is synonymized with A. flavomarginata (Hungerford, 1930). The genus is characterized by prominent setal tufts or sclerotized wing-like processes on the male proctiger; elongate body shape with long, slender legs; uniformly blackish forewings; antennal segment I longest; and the female abdomen with tergum VIII deflexed. Species in this genus occur at high elevations in the Andes Mountains with records from 1500 to 3600 m. A key is provided to all 11 species in the genus and new distributional records are presented for A. boliviana (Breddin, 1898), A. columbiensis (Hungerford, 1930), and A. flavomarginata .

  • Os heterópteros (Gerromorpha e Nepomorpha) de lagos andinos na Colômbia: Composição e semelhança da biota
    'Universidad Militar Nueva Granada', 2021
    Co-Authors: Padilla Gil, Dora Nancy
    Abstract:

    The Nepomorpha and Gerromorpha heteropterans are highly diverse, mainly in Neotropical aquatic ecosystems; however, their composition in the lakes of the Tropical Andes is poorly known. This article presents the composition of aquatic and semiaquatic bugs and their geographical and altitudinal distribution in eight lentic ecosystems from the Cundinamarca department, Colombia. The similar aquatic heteropteran composition between these Andean lakes and its relationship with the geographical and altitudinal range from 1,585 to 3,700 m.a.s.l. in the Eastern Andes are also analyzed. To carry out this work, the collections and pertinent literature are reviewed, and biota similarity is compared by applying a upgma analysis. The results show the predominance of Nepomorpha with a total of 12 species, four genera, and two families: Corixidae (6), and Notonectidae (6). The second most common suborder is Gerromorpha with eight species, seven genera, and five families: Gerridae (3), Veliidae (2), Hebridae (1), Hydrometridae (1), and MesoVeliidae (1). The biota similarity is related to páramo ecosystems and forest type. This article is the first to consider aquatic and semiaquatic heteropterans as biota from the Andean and High Andean lakes in Colombia.Los heterópteros Nepomorpha y Gerromorpha son muy diversos, principalmente en ecosistemas acuáticos neotropicales; sin embargo, su composición en los lagos de los Andes Tropicales es poco conocida.
