Description
Veliidae
Veliidae is the richest family of semiaquatic bugs in Argentina, with 30 recorded species in seven genera (Coscarón 2017). Estévez et al. (2003) previously reported three species of Veliidae from INR. During this study, we collected these species and another five, including two new country records from Argentina: Paravelia rotundanotata (Hungerford, 1930) and Steinovelia vinnula (Drake, 1951). Microvelia braziliensis McKinstry, 1937, M. hinei Drake, 1920, and M. venustatis Drake & Harris, 1933 are herein first recorded from Corrientes Province. Oiovelia cunucunumana Drake & Maldonado-Capriles, 1952 and Stridulivelia astralis (Drake & Harris, 1938), reported from Corrientes Province (Mazzucconi & Bachmann 1997a, b; Bachmann 1998; Iglesias & Crespo1999, as Paravelia correntina Iglesias & Crespo, 1999), have not been collected from INR.
