Abstract
Two new taxa are proposed for veliids presently placed in the genus Pa ravelia: Platyvelia new genus, type-species Velia brachialis Stal, and Steinovelia new genus, type-species Velia stagnalis Burmeister. The s ynonymy of Platyvelia brachialis (Stal) 1860 and Platyvelia australis (Torre-Bueno) 1916 is discussed and confirmed. A checklist of included species is given for each new genus.
