Abstract

Water bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Leptopodomorpha, Gerromorpha & Nepomorpha) are commonly found on the surface, margins, water column, or the bottom of water bodies globally. Most of them are generalist predators, feeding upon invertebrates or vertebrates, but the ingestion of algae and detritus has also been recorded in some species. Although most of their diversity is found in tropical areas, still significant knowledge gaps persist on the composition and distribution of this fauna in those regions. Here, we describe a new species of Tenagobia (Romanogobia) Nieser, 1977 (Nepomorpha: Micronectidae) and provide new records of 24 species of water bugs from Venezuela, Brazil, and Madagascar.
