Genus Oiovelia Drake & Maldonado-Capriles, 1952 View in CoL

Oiovelia View in CoL currently comprises 10 described species and its distribution extends from southern Mexico to Argentina ( Floriano & Rodrigues, 2016). The species are predominantly foam-inhabitants, although they can be collected at the banks of streams without foam masses. The genus was recently revised ( Rodrigues et al., 2014a) and subsequently two additional species were described ( Rodrigues & Moreira,2016a; Floriano & Rodrigues,2016).
