Resumen:

An illustrated key to the larvae of 27 out of 29 genera of Gomphidae of the Neotropical region is provided. Additional information on microhabitats and notes on the larval habits is also included. Larvae of Brasiliogomphus and Cyanogomphus are still unknown, and larva of Diaphlebia is keyed by supposition. Gomphidae represents between 34-35% of all known Neotropical anisopterans. Most Gomphidae species inhabit running waters and many of their larvae behave as shallow burrowers. Larvae of Gomphidae are characterized manily by body abundantly setose; antennae 4-articulated with the third antennal article the largest, and the fourth segment minute or vestigial; prementum flat, ligula without median cleft, apical margin with piliform setae; molar crest of mandible movable; legs scarcely opposable, short, and setose, and female larva gonapophyses rudimentary or vestigial. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
