The list was prepared based on a literature survey N and examination of the entomological collection of Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). The list includes 102 species, with ten new occurrences recorded, being one for the Amazon (which includes areas of Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Guyana, French Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela) three for the Amazonas state, and six for other localities in Brazil. Reports about species bibliography contents were also included, as well as available species municipalities distributional data. Introduction (Pronex/CNPq/FAPEAM), The goal of this work is mainly Elmidae Curtis, 1830 is constituted of small aquatic to catalogue and study the aquatic insects distributions in beetles that inhabit preferentially running waters. Elmidae, the Amazon Forest. Psephenidae, Ptilodactylidae, Dryopidae, Lutrochidae, The term Amazon is used in this work based in Limnichidae and Eulichadidae together constitute the Mittermeier et al. (2003), which applies to the area that Dryopoidea (Hunt et al. 2007). Adult Elminae present includes the following countries, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, plastron, a respiratory structure which allows the Guyana, French Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. beetle stay submerged for a longer time. Larvae present In Brazil, Amazon includes Tropical Rain Forest areas of brancheal tufts that open externally by an operculum. Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, a portion of Maranhão, a portion Both adult and larvae generally occur in the same habitats, of Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins are mainly scrappers and only genus Lara LeConte, 1852 (Mittermeier et al. 2003). When possible, names of the (White and Brigham 1996) are known to be herbivores. municipalities where the species were registered were cited, although, in some cases just the regional reference The life cycle is variable, the larvae can pass by three to or the country was informed in the literature. eightAdults instars periodically and spend leave since their few habitats months to until dispersal some flight.years Results and Discussion Brighan 1996).
