This study includes 26 localities in the floodplain of the Amazon River in the Brazilian territory, between the municipalities of Tabatinga, state of Amazonas, and Afuá, state of Pará (MOREIRA et al. 2011: fig.1; this work: Tab.I).The examined material was collected on floating plants of Eichhornia Kunth (Commelinales: Pontederiaceae) or on U.V. light traps positioned near the water, and additional qualitative collections were conducted in streams (igarapés) and lakes near the sampling sites.Jorge L. Nessimian and Neusa Hamada collected samples from stations 1-13, and Nelson Ferreira-Jr.and Paulo de Marco-Jr.collected samples from stations 14-26.Even with the additional collections, no Veliidae specimens have been found in some of the localities.
