0102A435FFEA663990B7B53DFB6CE146.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The specimens from Rio Grande do Norte have the dorsal part of the mesopleuron brown to lightbrown (Fig. 2 F), similar to L. profugus Drake & Harris, 1930, and opposed to the reddish-brown typical of L. ignotus. However, the length of antennomere I less than or equal to the width of the head across the eyes, in addition to the total length of the body, led us to identify the specimens examined here as L. ignotus.	en	Canejo, Rafael P.

0102A435FFEF663790B7B180FB5BE75E.taxon	description	Lectotype designation. Neogerris lotus was described from specimens from Manaus, state of Amazonas, northern Brazil (White 1879 a). The author did not mention the number of specimens in the type series and did not designate the holotype. Despite being a species with several records in the literature, including redescriptions (e. g., Drake & Harris 1934; Nieser 1970), no author has designated the lectotype for this species. The type series is currently deposited in the Natural History Museum in London (BMNH); this series is composed of three males, two females, and a nymph; all adults are macropterous. Although a female is the only specimen bearing the “ Type ” label among the five adults, they all also have “ Syntype ” labels. Since males within Neogerris have the diagnostic features hitherto used in species identification, we herein designate one of the males as the lectotype (Figs. 4 A – B), and the remaining four adult specimens as paralectotypes.	en	Canejo, Rafael P. R., Melo, Alan Lane De, Rodrigues, Higor D. D. (2023): Gerromorpha (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil, including a new synonymy. Zootaxa 5357 (2): 151-185, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5357.2.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5357.2.1
0102A435FFEF663790B7B180FB5BE75E.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Neogerris lotus and N. celeris are very similar morphologically, a fact already mentioned by Drake & Harris (1934) and Nieser (1994). Nieser (1970) and Nieser & Alkins-Koo (1991) even identified specimens of N. celeris from Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago, respectively, which was later corrected by Nieser (1994); he argued that they were specimens of N. lotus with the pronotum covering the mesonotum. However, Nieser (1994) mentioned that since this condition was probably rare, the two species could still be separated by two diagnostic features: the length of the pronotum and the shape of male abdominal tergum VIII. In N. lotus, the pronotum covers about halfway over the mesonotum (as in Fig. 4 E), and the posterior margin of male abdominal tergum VIII is shallowly concave medially (Fig. 5 J), whereas in N. celeris, the pronotum almost reaches the metanotum, exposing only a narrow part of the mesonotum (Figs. 4 C – D), and the posterior margin of male abdominal tergum VIII is distinctly concave medially, forming a prominent notch (Fig. 5 L). After examination of the type series and additional material of N. lotus (including specimens identified by N. Nieser) and paratypes of N. celeris, we noticed that male abdominal tergum VIII is very similar between them. The paratype of N. celeris examined does not have the posterior margin of tergum VIII distinctly notched, unlike the illustrations provided by Drake & Harris (1934: plate XXV, fig. a), but with only a slight median concavity (Fig. 4 G). When studying specimens of Neogerris from Rio Grande do Norte, we detected variation in the shape of male abdominal tergum VIII in one of the collected species (Figs. 5 J – L), in addition to a subtle variation in the length of the pronotum, which either completely covered or exposed a thin stripe of the mesonotum. This species was initially identified as N. celeris because the pronotum reaches the metanotum and the posterior margin of male abdominal tergum VIII has a slight median concavity. However, after considering the variation in the pronotal length of N. lotus, and the variation of the posterior margin of abdominal tergum VIII in males from the same locality, which varied from a slight medial concavity, similar to what is described for N. lotus (Figs. 5 J – K), to a deeper notch as described for N. celeris (Fig. 5 L), led us to re-identify the material. The intraspecific morphological variation described in the literature and that observed in the specimens examined here lead us to consider N. lotus and N. celeris as conspecific. Thus, N. celeris is here considered a junior synonym of N. lotus.	en	Canejo, Rafael P. R., Melo, Alan Lane De, Rodrigues, Higor D. D.

0102A435FFFD662B90B7B31EFB14E2B7.taxon	discussion	Identification. The genus Lipogomphus has only one species recorded from Brazil: L. lacuniferus (Moreira et al. 2011). The only female examined here was compared with the photo provided by Rodrigues et al. (2021 c: page 125, Fig. 74), who recently recorded this species from northeastern Brazil. The body color pattern and general morphology are very similar between them, which leads us to identify this female as L. lacuniferus (Figs. 13 G – H).	en	Canejo, Rafael P.

0102A435FFFE662790B7B6C4FBA2E49E.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species is distributed across the American continent, occurring from southern Canada to Argentina (Moreira et al. 2008). As is common in widely distributed species, M. mulsanti has a series of intraspecific variations, which were studied by Neering (1954). In that study, the author found variation in the black spines on the ventral surface of the middle femur, the pair of tightly-packed clusters of black spinules on male abdominal sternum VIII, the male paramere, and the lobes and prongs of female abdominal sternum VII. In the specimens examined in the present study, we observed variation in the number of spines on the middle femur (Figs. 14 I – J), in the distance between the pair of tightly-packed clusters of black spinules on the male abdominal sternum VIII (Figs. 14 G – H), and in the shape of the paramere.	en	Canejo, Rafael P.
