“…Nymphal stages move slower than adults and carry sand grains on their bodies, presumably for the purpose of concealment (Bobb 1951 ). Konopko ( 2010Konopko ( , 2012Konopko ( , 2013, , Konopko and Melo ( 2009 ), and Konopko et al ( 2010 provided a series of descriptions of nymphs of the Corixidae from Argentina: Ectemnostega montana (Lundblad), E. quechua (Bachmann), E. stridulata (Hungerford), Sigara schadei (Hungerford), S. denseconscripta (Breddin), Tenagobia incerta Lundblad, T. schadei Lundblad, and Trichocorixa mendozana Jaczewski. Detritus, algae, cladocerans, and larvae of Chironomidae were supplied as food, the nymphs being fed solely with algae.…”

True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics

The infraorder Nepomorpha is one of the most specialized groups of heteropterans, with most of its species spending the entire life cycle within the water. True water bugs include ten families, 52 genera, and approximately 730 species in the Neotropical region, which shelters about 30 % of the global diversity of the group. Despite this fact, little is known about their biology, ecology, and geographical distribution in the Neotropics. Several genera need to be revised and many species remain with outdated descriptions. The systematics of the infraorder, although has received little attention in recent years, remains with various unresolved questions, and no phylogenetic study was conducted for any endemic group of this region.
