Limnogonus
(
Limnogonus
)
recurvus
Drake & Harris, 1930
Geographical distribution:
Brazil
and
Bolivia
.
Distribution in
Brazil
: North, Central-West, and Southeast regions (PA, MT, RO, MG) (
Drake & Harris 1930
;
Kuitert 1942
;
Nieser 1970c
;
Sampaio & Py-Daniel 1993
; Nieser & Melo 1997).
Comments: Described from “Chapada,

profugus
.
Neogerris
Matsumura, 1913
(6 species)
Comments: Variations in pronotal length caused specimens of
Neogerris lotus
(White, 1879)
and
N. lubricus
(White, 1879)
to be wrongly identified as
N. celeris
(
Drake & Harris, 1934
)
in the literature. Because of this fact, Nieser (1994) restricted the geographical distribution of
N. celeris
to its type-locality in
Paraguay
, and records from
Brazil
are not considered.
