          Abstract

          La colección del Museo Entomológico de la Universidad del Valle cuenta con especimenes de 13 familias de heterópteros acuáticos, entre los que figura Gerridae, una familia asociada a la película superficial del agua en hábitats lóticos y lénticos, aguas dulces, salobres y saladas de los océanos. Con el objeto de obtener una aproximación a la diversidad y distribución de los ejemplares de esta familia representados en el museo, se revisaron todos los registros y material determinado hasta el nivel de especie. En total se encontraron 27 especies, representadas en los siguientes géneros: Rheumatobates (cuatro especies), Limnogonus (cuatro especies), Trepobates (cuatro especies), Telmatometra (tres especies) Halobates (tres especies), Potamobates (dos especies) y los géneros Charmatometra, Eurygerris, Tachygerris, Brachymetra, Platygerris, Telmatometroides y Metrobates con una especie cada uno, distribuidos en una franja altitudinal que va desde el nivel del mar hasta los 2.725 metros de elevación. Se reporta como primer registro para Colombia, Metrobates amblydonti. El trabajo representa un aporte taxonómico que complementa la distribución de estos géneros para Colombia.

          The collection of the Entomological Museum of the Universidad del Valle has specimens from 13 families of aquatic heteropterans, which includes Gerridae, a family associated with the surface film of water in lotic and lentic habitats, freshwater, brackish water and salt water. In order to approximate the diversity and distribution of the specimens from this family represented in the museum, all the entries and determined materials were revised to the species level. In total 27 species were found, represented in the following genera: Rheumatobates (four species), Limnogonus (four species), Trepobates (four species), Telmatometra (three species), Halobates (three species), Potamobates (two species), and the genera Charmatometra, Eurygerris, Tachygerris, Brachymetra, Platygerris, Telmatometroides and Metrobates each with one species, distributed in an altitudinal corridor ranging from sea level up to 2,725 meters in elevation. We report for the first time in Colombia Metrobates amblydonti. This work represents a taxonomic contribution which complements the distribution of these genera in Colombia.
