Belostoma ellipticum Latreille, 1833 View in CoL

Geographical distribution: eastern Texas, United States, in the Nearctic region to Honduras in the Neotropical region.

Comments: reported from Cuba as Zaitha anurum by Champion (1901). The Z. anurum of Champion is nowadays interpreted as a mixture of species, and the Cuban material originally reported by him probably corresponds to B. ellipticum . Belostoma ellipticum itself is also a problematic species taxonomically and may eventually become a nomen dubium.
