Abstract

BELASTOMATIDAE (HEMIPTERA-Heteroptera: NEPOMORPHA) OF VENEZUELA The family Belostomatidae (giant water bugs, electric light bugs, toe biters, tadpole killers, water cockroaches) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha) is composed of the largest aquatic hemipteran taxa (up to 120 mm). In this paper, a revised and updated checklist of the family Belostomatidae registered from Venezuela is presented and discussed. Up to now, 27 belastomatid species have been recorded, distributed into 2 subfamilies, 1 tribe and 2 genera, including subfamily Belastomatinae, tribe Belastomatini, genus Belostoma Latreille, 1807 (18 species); and the subfamily Lethocerinae: genus Lethocerus Mayr, 1853 (9 species). Key words: Giant water bugs, Heteroptera, revision, Venezuela.
