Notonecta indica View in CoL (L., 1771)
Common throughout the Americas, N. indica is well known from the Caribbean, with records from St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico ( Hungerford 1933; Barber 1939). We found adults commonly in Bolongo Pond. Juveniles were found in the water hazards at the Herman E. Moore Golf Course on the University of the Virgin Islands campus, and the ponds on Mahogany Run ghut. Notonecta indica is the only known member of the genus in the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico, although N. confusa Hungerford, 1930 is known from Cuba ( Hungerford 1933; Naranjo et al. 2010).
