Abstract (en):
For the true aquatic bugs grouped under the Nepoidea superfamily, there is little information available about the
genera and species present in Colombia. For this reason information was gathered from the main entomological
Colombian collections and from literature of this group. The genus Abedus is reported for the first time for South
America and Colombia, together with new generic state records of Belostoma, Curicta, Lethocerus, Ranatra and Telmatotrephes. The distribution maps for each genus and a taxonomic key for their identification is included. Nepoidea is well represented in Colombia in respect to the Neotropical region, being Belostomatidae more thoroughly sampled. Belostoma is more broadly distributed over a much wider altitude range. More studies in critical areas are needed in order to complete the national inventory.
Abstract (es):
Debido a la escasa información de las chinches acuáticas de la superfamilia Nepoidea en Colombia, se recopiló información mediante la revisión de las principales colecciones entomológicas a nivel nacional y la bibliografía existente para este grupo. Se registra por primera vez el género Abedus para Colombia y Suramérica y se amplía la distribución departamental de los géneros Belostoma, Curicta, Lethocerus, Ranatra y Telmatotrephes. Se presentan los mapas de distribución para los géneros registrados y una clave taxonómica para su identificación. Los Nepoidea en Colombia están bien representados con respecto a la región neotropical, siendo Belostomatidae la familia mejor muestreada. El género Belostoma presentó la mayor distribución con un amplio intervalo altitudinal. Es necesario realizar colectas en áreas críticas para completar el inventario a nivel nacional.
