Hemiptera Heteroptera Gerromorpha Veliidae

Abstract

Nieser & Polhemus (1999) described four species of Rhagovelia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) from the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil: Rhagovelia ochroischion, R. sbolos, R. trianguloides, and R. turmalis. Nevertheless, these same nomina were used in an identification key by Nieser & Melo (1997).
