Abstract
ABSTRACT The subfamily Veliinae (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) includes ten genera worldwide, seven of which are endemic to the American continent. Here, we provide a revision of Platyvelia Polhemus and Polhemus, 1993, which is distributed from the United States to northern Argentina, and included nine valid species prior to this study. Six species are redescribed, the synonymies of P. egregia (Drake and Harris, 1935) and P. verdica (Drake, 1951) with P. brachialis (Stal, 1860) are proposed, a lectotype is designated for P. annulipes, and two species groups are erected based on male characters: the P. annulipes group and the P. brachialis group. Keys to the species groups and species within each group, photos, and distribution maps are also included.
摘要Veliinae亚科(异翅目:Gerromorpha:Veliidae)在世界范围内包括十个属,其中七个属是美洲大陆的特有属。在这里,我们提供了对Platyvelia Polhemus和Polhemus,1993的修订,该物种分布于从美国到阿根廷北部,在本研究之前包括9个有效物种。重新描述了六个物种,提出了白暨豚(Drake and Harris,1935)和绿藻(Drake,1951)与腕足蟾蜍(Stal,1860)的同义词,为环足蟾蜍指定了一个选型,并根据雄性特征建立了两个物种群:环足蟾蜍群和腕足蟾蜍群。还包括物种组和每组中物种的密钥、照片和分布图。
