Revision of the water scavenger beetle genus Notionotus Spangler, 1972 in the Neotropical Region (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Enochrinae).

ABSTRACT: The Neotropical species of the water scavenger beetle genus Notionotus Spangler, 1972 are revised using an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphology with DNA sequence data from two genes. Support exists for four putative species groups into which 18 species are placed, including twelve that are described here as new: N.bicolor sp. nov. (Suriname), N.bifidus sp. nov. (Venezuela), N.brunbadius sp. nov. (Brazil), N.garciae sp. nov. (Brazil), N.giraldoi sp. nov. (Brazil), N.insignitus sp. nov. (Venezuela), N.juma sp. nov. (Brazil), N.parvus sp. nov. (Suriname), N.patamona sp. nov. (Guyana), N.peruensis sp. nov. (Peru), N.retusus
