632C8780717E112AB12DFDC9F534FAF5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Ranatra libera belongs to the R. biroi species group described by Lansbury (1972). Prior to Tran & Nguyen (2016), it was only known from its type locality in Bago (Myanmar). However, it now appears to also be present in Thailand. In a later study by Jehamalar and Chandra (2020), this species was recorded not only from Meghalaya but also from the Indian subcontinent for the first time (Fig. 1 E). The paramere structure and shape of R. libera is the important diagnostic feature which differs from the other species in this genus (Fig. 1 B). This species was collected both from lentic and lotic habitats in the study areas.	en	Deepa, Jaiswal, Banerjee, Somesh (2023): A faunistic survey of the aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) of the Tiger Reserves in Telangana, India.

632C878071751121B1DCFBE6F4D5F8EB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species may be easily identified by the presence of short, sharp spines ventrally on the basal portion of the male mid-femur and the structure of the male parameres. They are found in floating waters with slow to moderately fast currents and sandy-bottomed streams (Yang & Polhemus, 1994). In the Kawal Tiger reserve, we collected this species from a roadside, a small sandy stream with a very small amount of water with minimal water current likewise, in the Amrabad Tiger reserve, we collected it beside the waterfalls where the water current was moderate.	en	Deepa, Jaiswal, Banerjee, Somesh (2023): A faunistic survey of the aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) of the Tiger Reserves in Telangana, India.
