Abstract
Recently, Martins-Silva (2022) published the article entitled “Checklist of Aquatic Heteroptera genera (Insecta: Hemiptera) from
Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado Biome), with family and genera identification key”. The paper provides information on which genera of aquatic
Heteroptera would occur in the Cerrado biome and an identification key to families and genera, based on specimens deposited in the Aquatic
Invertebrates Collection of the University of Brasília, Brazil. However, it presents many problems, including misidentifications, lack of care
with references, scientific names and taxonomic authorities, and poor grammar, syntax and spelling. Here, we express our concern about
this paper and provide identification corrections for specimens figured in it whenever possible.
