Abstract
While the family Notonectidae is considered cosmopolitan throughout North A merica, no published records exist for its presence in two of the United St ates: Delaware and New Hampshire. We newly report this family for Delaware. It is represented by seven species in two genera; Buenoa margaritacea, B. scimitra, Notonecta insulata, N. irrorata, N. raleighi lunata, N. uhleri an d N. undulata. A list of additional species likely to occur in Delaware is also provided.
