New Species of Water Striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) from Colombia

Two new species of the genera Limnogonus Stål (Gerrinae) and Rheumatobates Bergroth (Rhagadotarsinae) are described from Colombia. Limnogonus carinatus sp. nov. is differentiated from other species of the genus by features of the genitalia and the last abdominal sternite of the male. Rheumatobates electricus sp. nov. is recognized by the male, with the antennomere I fusiform and broad and the posterior trochanter cylindrical, concave, with numerous long setae along the segment. New records are presented for Limnogonus hyalinus (Fabricius) and Rheumatobates minutus flavidus Drake & Harris.
