A few species live exclusively in open habitats above the tree line: paramo and puna biomes. This habit requires special adaptation to particular physical and climatic conditions of the oreal zone in the tropics. At least ten species of the endemic genus Redonda Adams and Bernard inhabit the paramos of the Venezuelan Andes. We herein describe seven of them: R. castellana Viloria and Camacho, n. sp., R. centenaria Viloria and Camacho, n. sp., R. chiquinquirana Ferrer-Paris, n. sp., R. frailejona Ferrer-Paris and Costa, n. sp., R. lathraia Viloria and Camacho, n.sp., R. leukasmena Viloria and Camacho, n. sp., and R. lossadana Ferrer-Paris,n. sp., and rank Redonda empetrus bolivari Adams and Bernard to full specific status.

Se reviso el material perteneciente a estas tres familias recolectado durante los anos 1960-2003 y depositados en el MALUZ, y se genero una base de datos con la informacion contenida en las etiquetas que posee cada ejemplar relacionadas con la identificacion taxonomica y el lugar de recoleccion. Los ejemplares fueron identificados por especialistas de cada grupo y parte por los autores, a traves claves entomologicas de cada una de las familias. Se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: familia Ampulicidae con dos subfamilias, dos tribus, dos generos y una especie recolectados en tres estados de Venezuela; familia Sphecidae con tres subfamilias, cinco tribus, 10 generos y 11 especies, recolectadas en 10 estados de Venezuela; y la familia Crabronidae con cinco subfamilias, 13 tribus, 28 generos con un total de 33 especies, en 13 de los 15 estados muestreados. Estos hallazgos aportan informacion valiosa sobre la diversidad biologica de estos insectos en Venezuela y acerca de los grupos que requieren mayor atencion en un futuro.

Specimens were collected in The Plains region in Venezuela (Apure and Guarico states) using either a light trap or a net. Description and illustration of the new species are provided along with a discussion of its systematic position. The new species can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the following main characters: crease at posterolateral angle of pronotum weakly marked; numerous setae covering entire surface of prosternal process and medial part of prosternum; shape of male genitalia.

Research paper thumbnail of Neotropical genera of Naucoridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha): New species of Placomerus and Procryphocricos from Guyana and Venezuela

Recent extensive collecting in Venezuela has produced three new species in two of these genera. In addition, undetermined Guyanan specimens of one of the new species were found in the United States National Museum of Natural History. Thus, described here are Pla-comerus obscuratus n. sp. from Guyana and Venezuela with brachypterous and macropterous hindwing forms, and two species of Procryphocricos from Venezuela. Procryphocricos quiu n. sp. is described from the brachypterous forewing form and Procryphocricos macoita n. sp. from both brachypterous and macropterous forms. Previously described species also are discussed.
