Belostoma testaceopallidum Latreille, 1807: Gen. Crust. Ins., 144–145.

General distribution. Brazil, Argentina (Moreira et al. 2011b).

Habitat. Belostoma testaceopallidum has been found in a shaded artificial reservoir, a small puddle, waterholes along a dry stream, the quiet edges of a stream (shallow and exposed to sunlight), and in a river with vegetated margins (Vianna & Melo 2003; Pelli et al. 2006; Ribeiro 2005, 2007).

At the INR, B. testaceopallidum was collected from the margins of lentic habitats with dense floating, emergent, and submerged vegetation (Estévez & Armúa de Reyes 2003, as B. grandicollum De Carlo, 1934; Estévez et al. 2003, as B. grandicollum).
