CED578D4884A5F01BE218CCE0CB0BA68.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species is named in honor of Professor Fredy Molano, who made a great contribution to the knowledge of Gerromorpha from Colombia.	en	Mondragon-F., Silvia P., Morales, Irina, Moreira, Felipe F. F. (2021): Telmatometropsis fredyi gen. nov., sp. nov.: a new water strider from the Colombian Pacific region (Insecta, Hemiptera, Gerridae).

ED5677CF6880564DA138312EBDBDF5FF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new genus is similar to Telmatometroides (Fig. 9), sharing with it the long ocular setae, the median and lateral longitudinal black stripes on the mesonotum, male abdominal tergum VIII with a central notch on the posterior margin (stronger on T. rozeboomi), mid tarsomere I with a few bristles at the base, the hind femur with five dorsal trichobothria, the male abdominal laterotergites with patches of light setae, and the occupation of estuarine brackish waters. Telmatometropsis gen. nov. differs from Telmatometroides and all other genera of Neotropical Trepobatinae by the modified fore tarsomere II of the male, which is strongly curved in lateral view, flattened laterally, and apically bifid, with a shorter and a longer portion. The relative proportions of the antennomeres are also unique to the new genus, with article III clearly longer than article I, more than twice as long as article II, but shorter than article IV. Further comparison with other genera of Neotropical Trepobatinae is given in Table 1 and in an updated key to Neotropical Trepobatinae genera provided below.	en	Mondragon-F., Silvia P., Morales, Irina, Moreira, Felipe F.

Male body length 2.90 - 3.21, width (across suture between meso- and metanotum) 1.07 - 1.21; female body length 3.30 - 3.91, width 1.44 - 1.52. Color. Ground color of body pale yellow with extensive black and silvery markings dorsally, legs largely pale yellow (Fig. 1 A). Structural characteristics. Eyes elongate, with a pair of long ocular setae (Fig. 1 B). Head with four pairs of trichobothria (Fig. 1 C). Antenna shorter than body length; antennomere I thickest, curved laterally at base, longer than antennomere II; antennomere II shortest, thicker than antennomeres III and IV; antennomere III longer than antennomere I; antennomere IV longest (Fig. 1 A, B). Labium long, extending to mesosternum. Pronotum short, trapezoid (Fig. 1 C). Mesonotum about three times as long as pronotum, posterior margin slightly concave (Fig. 1 A, B). Fore femur subequal in length to fore tibia, slightly curved at the base in dorsal view; fore tibia with apicolateral row of short, distinctive setae (Fig. 3 A); fore tarsus covered with short yellow setae; fore tarsomere I about one third the length of fore tarsomere II; male fore tarsomere II strongly curved in lateral view, flattened laterally, apically bifid with a shorter and a longer portion; claws directed mesally (Fig. 3 A-E). Mid femur about two-thirds the length of mid tibia; mid tibia less than twice the length of mid tarsus, about as long as medial length of body from anterior margin of pronotum to apex of abdomen, occasionally almost as long as body; mid tarsus shorter than mid femur, article I subequal to article II or a little longer. Hind femur longer than mid femur; hind tibia about two-thirds the length of hind femur, densely covered with setae; hind tarsus about half the length of hind tibia, article I longer than article II.	en	Mondragon-F., Silvia P., Morales, Irina, Moreira, Felipe F.
