Corixidae
is one of the richest families of aquatic bugs in
Argentina
, with 28 recorded species in 5 genera. Following
Hungerford (1948)
, six subfamilies are currently recognized, of which only the
Corixinae
and
Heterocorixinae
are represented in the Argentinean fauna; the
Micronectinae
are here treated as a separate family.
Hungerford (1948)
subdivided the
Corixinae
in four tribes, out of which only
Corixini
is represented in the country.
