TL;DR
This study documents the Hydradephaga beetles in the Iberá wetlands, revealing high biodiversity and new species records for Argentina.
Contribution
The first inventory of Hydradephaga beetles in the Iberá wetlands, including several new records for Argentina and the province of Corrientes.
Findings
80 Hydradephaga taxa were identified, with 62 species and 18 genera.
Five species are newly recorded in Argentina, and eight in Corrientes.
Dytiscidae is the most diverse family in the region.
Abstract
This study presents the first inventory of Hydradephaga beetles from the Iberá wetlands, a natural reserve located in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. A total of 80 taxa were recognised, of which 62 are identified at the species level and 18 at the genus level. Of the four Hydradephaga families present in Argentina, Dytiscidae is the richest in terms of the number of genera and species (25 genera, 43 species), followed by Noteridae (6 genera, 32 species), Gyrinidae (2 genera, 3 species), and Haliplidae (1 genus, 2 species). The following five species are recorded for the first time in Argentina: Copelatus cf. inornatus Sharp, 1882; Bidessodes cf. evanidus Young, 1986; Neobidessus trilineatus (Zimmermann, 1925); Haliplus nieseri van Vondel & Spangler, 2008; and Suphisellus cf. pereirai Guignot, 1958. Additionally, eight species are reported for the first time in the province of…
