Prionohydrus cambyreta sp. nov. from Iberá wetlands-the first species of the genus from northern Argentina (Coleoptera: Noteridae).

Prionohydrus cambyreta sp. nov. is described from the Iberá wetlands, Corrientes Province, Argentina.

Redescription and neotype designation of Suphis fluviatilis Guignot, 1948 (Coleoptera: Dytiscoidea: Noteridae) and notes on other species of the genus.

Suphis fluviatilis Guignot, 1948 was described based on a single female specimen, and according to the author, the type was deposited in the Museum National dHistoire Naturelle (Paris, France). However, the diagnostic features of the specimen deposited under this name and provided with the respective labels deviate considerably from those given by Guignot in his original description. It is shown that this specimen belongs to Suphis notaticollis Zimmermann, 1921, confirming previous observations by Luis Grosso in 1980.

Description and chaetotaxic analysis of the larval instars of Hydrocanthus debilis Sharp, 1882 (Coleoptera: Noteridae).

All larval instars of the burrowing water beetle species Hydrocanthus debilis Sharp, 1882 are described and illustrated, including morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphus. Larvae of this species have many small dark dorsal maculae on the body, which easily distinguishes it from other known species of the genus except H. socius Sahlberg, 1884.

Suphisellus grossoi sp. n., a new burrowing water beetle from South America, and notes on S. flavolineatus (Régimbart, 1889) and S. grammicus (Sharp, 1882) (Coleoptera: Noteridae).

Suphisellus grossoi sp. n. is described from the Reserva Natural del Bosque de Mbaracayú, Canindeyú department, Paraguay.

Characterization and mapping of sensilla on the head appendages of noterid larvae (Coleoptera: Noteridae), and development of a preliminary biometric method for taxa delimitation.

Larvae of the burrowing water beetle family Noteridae are distributed worldwide and are often abundant in a broad range of aquatic habitats, playing an important role in structuring freshwater communities, yet they have remained among the most poorly studied groups of aquatic beetles. Studies on sensillar equipment of aquatic insect larvae are largely lacking, despite their potential use in phylogeny and biometric identification methods. In this article, the external morphology and distribution of sensilla on the head appendages of first instar larvae of selected genera of Noteridae were examined using scanning electron microscopy.

Larval morphology and analysis of primary chaetotaxy in the genus Suphis Aubé, 1836 (Coleoptera: Noteridae).

The three larval instars of Suphis cimicoides Aubé, 1837 are described and illustrated, including morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment and urogomphus. A preliminary ground plan of primary chaetotaxy for noterid larvae is presented for the first time, based on the species described herein and examination of larvae of the genera Hydrocanthus Say, 1823 and Suphisellus Crotch, 1873. This ground plan is compared with previous systems proposed for other adephagan families.

Seasonal and Environmental Variables Related to the Abundance of Immature Mosquitoes in Rain Pools of a Peri-Urban Park of Buenos Aires (Argentina).

The aim of the present study was to investigate the variables associated with the composition of mosquito species in rain pools of 'Bosque de Ezeiza', a large peri-urban forested park of Buenos Aires city, Argentina. A total of 12 rain pools were sampled biweekly over a 1-yr period in search of mosquito immature stages. Mosquito immature stages were present in all the occasions in which water bodies were recorded.

Review of the Eulimnadia (Branchiopoda: Spinicaudata: Limnadiidae) from Argentina with the description of a new species.

A new spinicaudatan species, Eulimnadia pampa sp. nov., is described from Argentina mostly based on the differential egg morphology.

First Record and Larval Habitat Description of Culex (Melanoconion) pilosus from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Larvae of Culex (Melanoconion) pilosus were collected during February-April 2014 in temporary pools in "Bosques de Ezeiza," a large forested park, near Buenos Aires city, Argentina. This is the first record in Buenos Aires Province, extending the distribution of this species 380 km to the south. Regarding habitat use, Cx.
