Description
Neoplea semipicta (Horváth, 1918)
Plea semipicta Horváth, 1918: Annls. Mus. hist.-nat. hung., 145.
Neoplea semipicta: Polhemus, 1992: J. Kansas Entom. Soc., 441.
Material examined. Laguna Iberá RS: 1 ♀, Iberá Lagoon, Paso Claro, 28°33’29’’S, 57°11’37’’W, 16.ii.2018. Yahaveré RS: 1 ♂, Medina Lagoon, 13.xii.2014.
General distribution. Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Very little information exists regarding the habitat associations of N. semipicta. It has been collected in lagoons in association with Pistia stratiotes, Pontederia crassipes and Egeria najas (Neiff & Poi de Neiff 1979; Poi de Neiff 1979).
This species was previously recorded from Iberá in association with Salvinia biloba (Poi de Neiff 2003). During the present study, it was collected from unshaded margins with dense floating, emergent and submerged vegetation (mainly Pontederia azurea) in the Iberá Lagoon and Medina Lagoon.
