Hebrus buenoi, or Bueno's velvet water bug, is a species of velvet water bug in the family Hebridae. It is found in Central America and North America. [1] [2] [3]
These two subspecies belong to the species Hebrus buenoi:
Velvet water bugs are members of the family Hebridae. They are semiaquatic insects that live among moss or ponds with an abundance of vegetation, in which they prey on small arthropods. Velvet water bugs are the smallest of the Gerromorpha, and have an appearance of tiny veliids. Hebrids sometimes move across water surfaces, but walk or run rather than skate or scull on the surface.
The Hebrus Valles are an ancient system of troughs and valleys in the Amenthes quadrangle of Mars, located at 20.2° north latitude and 233.4° west longitude. They are 317 km long and were named after a river in the Balkans which runs through present day Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. Some authors have identified the troughs and valleys of Hebrus Valles as outflow channels, but their origin and history remain ambiguous. It has been considered as a potential site for human exploration due to the presence of icy caves.
Hebrus pusillus is a true bug. The species is found in the Palearctic. It ranges from Europe and North Africa to Asia Minor, then east to Kirgizia. Hebrus pusillus is a tiny semi-aquatic bug which lives in wet places, such as small lakes, heath and fen ponds, often at the shore amongst dense vegetation or in Lemna or Sphagnum. In Denmark, England, Germany and Sweden it is univoltine.
Hebrus is a genus of velvet water bugs in the family Hebridae. There are at least 160 described species in Hebrus.
Pnirontis is a genus of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. There are more than 30 described species in Pnirontis.
Mozena is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are more than 30 described species in Mozena.
Microvelia buenoi is a species of smaller water strider in the family Veliidae. It is found in Europe & Northern Asia and North America.

Gerris buenoi is a species of water strider that belongs to the family Gerridae. It was first identified in 1911 and is native to continental USA and Canada. Individuals of this species are small in size and have modified appendages, allowing them to float and "skate" along the surface of the water. G. buenoi can be found near the shoreline of freshwater ponds and small lakes, where they hunt for terrestrial insects that have fallen into the water.
