Gerromorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) comprises more than 2100 species of semiaquatic bugs, most of which have the ability to walk on the surface of the water. So far, 238 species have been recorded from Brazil, but several portions of the country remain poorly explored. The Metropolitan Region of Santarém (MRS), Pará State, Brazil, lacks faunistic and taxonomic studies concerning this group and the local fauna is under threat due to human actions.
Aiming to fill gaps concerning the diversity and distribution of Gerromorpha in the Amazon, a survey of the semi-aquatic bugs from the MRS is presented. Collections were made in 33 aquatic ecosystems in the different phytophysiognomies within this area from July 2019 to October 2020. As a result, a checklist with 44 species recorded from the three municipalities of the MRS is presented. Furthermore, three new species of the genus Westwood, 1834 ( , and ) are described, two species are recorded for the first time from Brazil ( Makhan, 2014 and Galindo-Malagón, Morales & Moreira, 2021), two from Pará State ( Uhler, 1894 and Polhemus & Polhemus, 1984) and 15 from the MRS ( Shaw, 1933, Hungerford & Matsuda, 1957, (Drake, 1942), Westwood, 1834, Magalhães & Moreira, 2016, Bacon, 1948, Bacon, 1948, (Hungerford, 1929), Drake & Maldonado-Capriles, 1952, Polhemus & Polhemus, 1984, (Drake, 1957), (Hungerford, 1929), (Hungerford, 1929), (Drake & Harris, 1941) and (Hungerford, 1929)).
水黾亚目(半翅目:异翅亚目)包含2100多种半水生昆虫,其中大多数能够在水面上行走。到目前为止,巴西已记录了238种,但该国的几个地区仍未得到充分探索。巴西帕拉州圣塔伦大都市区(MRS)缺乏关于该类群的动物区系和分类学研究,当地的动物区系正因人类活动而受到威胁。
为填补亚马逊地区水黾亚目多样性和分布方面的空白,本文介绍了对圣塔伦大都市区半水生昆虫的调查。2019年7月至2020年10月期间,在该地区不同植物群落的33个水生生态系统中进行了采集。结果,列出了一份来自圣塔伦大都市区三个市记录的44种昆虫的清单。此外,还描述了西伍德属(Westwood,1834)的三个新物种( 、 和 ),两种昆虫首次在巴西被记录(Makhan,2014和Galindo-Malagón,Morales & Moreira,2021),两种来自帕拉州(Uhler,1894和Polhemus & Polhemus,1984),15种来自圣塔伦大都市区(Shaw,1933;Hungerford & Matsuda,1957; (Drake,1942);Westwood,1834;Magalhães & Moreira,2016;Bacon,1948;Bacon,1948; (Hungerford,1929);Drake & Maldonado-Capriles,1952;Polhemus & Polhemus,1984; (Drake,1957); (Hungerford,1929); (Hungerford,1929); (Drake & Harris,1941)和 (Hungerford,1929))。
