Results The notonectid fauna of Lower California is comprised of two genera, Noto- necta Linnaeus and Buenoa Kirkaldy. Notonecta is represented by six species; hoffmani Hungerford, kirbyi Hungerford, shooterii Uhler, unifasciata Guerin- Meneville, indica Linnaeus, and melaena Kirkaldy. Notonecta kirbyi and unifas- ciata are recorded for the first time from the peninsula. Buenoa is represented by seven species; margaritacea Torre-Bueno, scimitra Bare, arizonis Bare, omani Truxal, thomasi Truxal, albida (Champion), and platycnemis (Fieber). All Buenoa except arizonis and platycnemis are recorded for the first time from the peninsula. As noted in the species accounts that follow, the northern state, Baja California, has five of the six species of Notonecta and four of the seven species of Buenoa. The southern state, Baja California Sur, has three of the six species of Notonecta. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally e
