Material examined. San Ignacio RS: 2 ♂, 3 ♀, Reserva Privada Don Luis, Monte Don Luis, roadside ditches, 27°52.015’S, 56°54.914’W, 5.iii.2015.

General distribution. Paraguay ( Damgaard et al. 2014). Argentina: Corrientes (this work).

Habitat. Knowledge regarding N. celeris is based only on the type series from Paraguay (Nieser 1994). Nothing is known about its habitat associations except that it was found in a marsh in Villarrica ( Drake & Harris 1934) .

At the INR, this species was collected from a single locality: a shaded roadside ditch with floating vegetation at the margins ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 14–17 ).

Remarks. The cosmopolitan genus Neogerris currently comprises 13 species ( Damgaard et al. 2014). Until now, only N. lubricus had been recorded from Argentina ( Coscarón 2017). The collection of N. celeris from INR extends the known range of this species from southern Paraguay to northeastern Argentina. Nieser (1994) restricted the geographical distribution of N. celeris to its type-locality in Paraguay as this species can be misidentified with N. lotus (White, 1879) due to variations in the pronotum length. Therefore, records of N. celeris from other countries are not considered here. The posterior margin of abdominal tergum VIII, which is deeply notched in N. celeris but hardly notched in N. lubricus , readily differentiates the males of these two species.
