Abstract

Novopelmus, new genus, is described and Novopelmus insularis (Grouvelle, 1896), new combination, is proposed for Pelonomus insularisGrouvelle, 1896. An updated key to the adults of the Neotropical genera of aquatic and semiaquatic Dryopidae is presented. Three different groups of dryopid genera, as evidenced by adult morphology, ecology and behavior, are discussed.
