Heteroptera is a worldwide distributed group of insects inhabiting both terrestrial and aquatic habitats and has an important ecological role. A survey of aquatic and semiaquatic Heteroptera from Cuba is provided based on literature reports and field collections. General data on species geographical distribution are given, along with altitude and collection season. Representatives of 86 species and morphospecies of the infraorders Dipsocoromorpha, Leptopodomorpha, Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha are listed, distributed in 35 genera and 16 families were found. Based on distributional data, a preference for habitats of stagnant water or slow current and lower altitudes is inferred. Fifteen species are distributed throughout the entire island. A higher species diversity was found in the Eastern sector, with 53 species (61.63%), 16 of which (18.60%) are confined to this area. The strongest biological similarity was found between Eastern and Western sectors (25%), and the weakest between Western and Central sectors (14%).
异翅目昆虫是一类分布于全球的昆虫，栖息于陆地和水生栖息地，具有重要的生态作用。本文基于文献报道和野外采集，对古巴的水生和半水生异翅目昆虫进行了调查。给出了物种地理分布的一般数据，以及海拔和采集季节。列出了毛蚊次目、细足蝽次目、黾蝽次目和负子蝽次目的86个物种和形态种的代表，它们分布在35个属和16个科中。根据分布数据推断，这些昆虫偏好栖息于静水或缓流且海拔较低的栖息地。有15个物种分布于整个岛屿。在东部地区发现了更高的物种多样性，有53个物种（占61.63%），其中16个物种（占18.60%）仅局限于该地区。东部和西部之间的生物相似性最强（25%），而西部和中部之间的生物相似性最弱（14%）。
