Abstract

Based on material collected in Brazilian caves, new records are presented for seven species of Gerromorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) belonging to the families Gerridae [Brachymetra albinervus (Amyot & Serville, 1843); Cylindrostethus palmaris Drake & Harris, 1934], and Veliidae [Microvelia ioana Drake & Hottes, 1952; Paravelia digitata Rodrigues & Moreira, 2016; Rhagovellia henryi Polhemus, 1997; R. robusta Gould, 1931; R. whitei (Breddin, 1898)]. Illustrations and notes on identification and habitat are presented for all species above.
