“…In Brazil there are no records of the total number of families of Coleoptera with aquatic representatives. Only two surveys were conducted in Brazil, one in the Northern Region (Manaus), which recorded 12 families in 50 genera (Benetti and Hamada, 2003) and in marshes in the state of Rio de Janeiro (Ferreira Junior et al, 1998) which recorded six families in 33 genera. More recently, three papers have been published for the state of Rio de Janeiro, particularly for the families Dytiscidae, Noteridae, Hydrophilide and Elmidae Passos et al, 2009;Santos et al, 2009).…”

Inventories provide information on the state of biodiversity at a site or for a geographic region. Species inventories are the basis for systematic study and critical to ecology, biogeography and identification of biological indicators and key species. They also provide key information for assessments of environmental change, for natural resource conservation or recovery of degraded ecosystems. Thus, inventories play a key role in planning strategies for conservation and sustainable use. This study aimed to inventory the fauna of water beetles, larvae and adults, in two mountainous regions in the state of São Paulo, in Serra da Mantiqueira (Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão and Pindamonhangaba region) and in Serra do Mar (Santa Virgínia and Picinguaba Divisions) as well as to generate information about the habitats used by the different genera recorded. Specimens were collected in lotic and lentic systems, between the years 2005 to 2010. In total 14,492 specimens were collected and 16 families and 50 genera of Coleoptera were identified. This study in mountainous regions showed a significant portion of the faunal composition of South America and the state of São Paulo. The composition of the fauna, in terms of richness and abundance by family, indicated the predominance of Elmidae, followed by Hydrophilidae and Dytiscidae. Despite the diversity found, the results of estimated richness indicated the need for additional sampling effort for both regions, since the curves of estimated richness did not reach an asymptote, suggesting that new species can be found in future surveys.

The genus Chasmogenus Sharp, 1882 (Hydrophilidae: Acidocerinae) is recorded from Brazil for the first time. Four new species are described and illustrated from the Southeastern Region of the country: C. fluminensis sp. nov. (Rio de Janeiro State), C. lilianae sp. nov. (Rio de Janeiro State), C. itatiaia sp. nov. (Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro States), and C. ubatuba sp. nov. (São Paulo State). Chasmogenus sapucay Fernández, 1986 is recorded for the first time from Northern and Southeastern Brazil. Notes on morphology and an updated key for the South American species are provided.
