“…According to Ribeiro (2007), the family Belostomatidae is composed of eight genera with approximately 150 species, distributed in three subfamilies: Belostomatinae, Horvathiniinae and Lethocerinae (Lauck and Menke, 1961). The first subfamily has the highest number of genera, among which Belostoma is the most diverse (Lauck and Menke, 1961;Ribeiro, 2005).…”

ABSTRACT. Belostoma, a genus of the family Belostomatidae, includes species of great ecological importance as biocontrol agents. Few species of these species have been the subject of cytogenetic analyses. Karyotypic evolution in this genus involves agmatoploidy and simploidy; there are also different sex chromosome systems. We examined two Belostoma species (B. dilatatum and B. candidulum) collected from the Paranapanema River Basin (Brazil). Mitotic and meiotic analysis revealed 2n(♂) = 26 + X 1 X 2 X 3 Y for B. dilatatum and 2n(♂) = 14 + XY for B. candidulum; both karyotypes have holokinetic chromosomes. Differences in heterochromatin distribution were also observed between the species, besides variation in the localization of CMA 3 + /DAPI -blocks. The existence of different types of sex ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 11 (3): 2476-2486 (2012) Sex chromosome differentiation in Belostoma 2477 chromosome systems in these species was confirmed based on arrangements of the chromosomes in different meiotic stages. We identified a new sex system in B. dilatatum, and make the first cytogenetic report on B. candidulum.

“…The first subfamily has the highest number of genera, among which Belostoma is the most diverse (Lauck and Menke, 1961;Ribeiro, 2005). The systematics of this genus is confusing since the different species of Belostoma have a similar morphology, and also because few studies have been conducted in Brazil (Ribeiro, 2007).…”

“…com base na subdivisão proposta por lauck & menke (1961), a subfamília belostomatinae lauck & menke, 1961 compreende seis dos oito gêneros descritos de belostomatídeos conhecidos (lauck & menke, 1961;Polhemus, 1995). Belostoma latreille, 1807, um desses seis gêneros, é representado por um grande número de espécies na América do Sul (Nieser, 1975).…”

Representantes do grupo plebejum são encontrados de Honduras até o sul da América do Sul e compreendem sete espécies de pequeno porte. Como resultado de um estudo de revisão do grupo, são descritas duas espécies novas: Belostoma estevezae Ribeiro & Alecrim, sp. nov., do Estado do Mato Grosso, Brasil, similar a B. nicaeum Estévez & Polhemus, 2007, em termos de carena prosternal, e B. nessimiani Ribeiro & Alecrim, sp. nov., do Estado do Amazonas, Brasil, sendo bastante similar a B. parvum Estévez & Polhemus, 2007, em termos de genitália masculina. Uma chave de identificação para as espécies do grupo plebejum com as espécies novas incluídas é fornecida.
