A preliminary list of the species of aquatic and semiaquatic Heteroptera collected at the Parque Nacional Mburucuyá is given. Forty-six species, included in fourteen families, are herein recorded; only Rheumatobates minutus flavidus Drake & Harris (Gerridae) had been previously recorded from the park. Martarega membranacea White (Notonectidae) is herein first recorded from Argentina. Sixteen species are new records for Corrientes Province: Mesovelia bila Jaczewski, Mesovelia mulsanti White (Mesoveliidae), Hydrometra argentina Berg (Hydrometridae), Merragata hebroides White (Hebridae), Microvelia mimula White, Steinovelia virgata (White), Stridulivelia astralis (Drake & Harris) (Veliidae), Neogerris lubricus (White) (Gerridae), Belostoma candidulum Montandon (Belostomatidae), Pelocoris procurrens White, Pelocoris subflavus Montandon (Naucoridae), Buenoa amnigenus (White), Buenoa antigone antigone (Kirkaldy), Buenoa platycnemis (Fieber) (Notonectidae), Lipostemmata humeralis Berg, Lipostemmata scutellatus Ashlock (Rhyparochromidae). All the species recorded from the park are associated to lentic habitats, or to lentic portions of lotic ones, except Rheumatobates minutus flavidus (Gerridae), which inhabits moderately fast-flowing waters.
