Description

Limnogonus aduncus aduncus Drake & Harris, 1933

Limnogonus aduncus Drake & Harris, 1933a: Psyche, 110.

Material examined. Yahaveré RS: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Concepción de Yaguareté Corá, house for researchers, swimming pool, 28°23’25.7”S, 57°53’15.9”W, 8.xi.2015.

General distribution. Panama, the Lesser Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina (Floriano et al. 2017).

Habitat. Limnogonus a. aduncus has usually been found in the margins of pools, ponds and lagoons exposed to sunlight and with floating, emergent or submerged vegetation (Melo & Nieser 2004; Pereira & Melo 2007; Molano-Rendón et al. 2008; Torres et al. 2008; Moreira et al. 2011a), as well as in stagnant waterbodies near lotic habitats (overflows of streams; pools on banks of rivers; pools along dry streams) (Roback 1966; Melo & Nieser 2004; Moreno-R et al. 2018). This subspecies has also been collected in streams and rivers which are slow to moderately fast-flowing, with or without aquatic vegetation and in shaded or unshaded areas (Mazzucconi & Bachmann 1995; Melo & Nieser 2004; Pereira & Melo 2007; Moreno-R et al. 2018; Rodrigues et al. 2021b).

At the INR, only two specimens were collected in a swimming pool in Concepción de Yaguareté Corá.

Remarks. The collection of L. aduncus aduncus from INR represents the first record from Corrientes Province.
