| Description | New information
Rhagovelia bispoi sp. n. is described, illustrated and compared with similar congeners. The
new species belongs to the itatiaiana group and can be diagnosed by the uniformly black
mesonotum, the presence of a tuft of setae medially on male abdominal sternum VII, the
armature of the male hind femur and the distinctive shape of the paramere. In addition, we
present new records of R. trepida Bacon, 1948 from the States of Paraná and Santa
Catarina and a key to the species of the itatiaiana group recorded from Brazil. | en_US |

| Abstract | Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Veliidae), known as riffle bugs, includes
more than 400 species and is commonly found in tropical lotic environments, including
coastal marine habitats, such as mangroves and estuaries. Due to the elevated number of
species, the fauna from the Americas has been divided into several groups, which
facilitates taxonomic studies. Amongst them, the itatiana group currently includes two
species from the Greater Antilles and five from south-eastern and southern Brazil. Despite
the many taxonomic studies developed during the past few decades, new species of
Rhagovelia are still being discovered in several areas of the continent, including the
Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. | en_US |
