Abstract

Based on material deposited in a Colombian entomological collection, new records from northern South America (Colombia and Venezuela) are presented for eight species of Gerridae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera). The species belong to the genera Brachymetra Mayr, 1865 (Charmatometrinae); Limnogonus Stål, 1868; Neogerris Matsumura, 1913 (Gerrinae, Gerrini); Tachygerris Drake, 1957 (Gerrinae, Tachygerrini); Metrobates Uhler, 1871 (Trepobatinae, Metrobatini); and Telmatometra Bergroth, 1908 (Trepobatinae, Trepobatini). Photographs of the habitus of adults and distribution maps are also presented for each species.
