Abstract
Members of the family Pleidae are commonly referred to as pygmy backswimmers. They are small predatory bugs; usually reside in stagnant or slow moving aquatic habitats with plenty of vegetation. Two species of aquatic insects Paraplea frontalis (Fieber, 1844) and P. liturata (Fieber, 1844) in the family Pleidae are reported for the first time from Kerala. Both species are relatively common and widespread in India. However, the present faunistic records shall add to the database of geographical distributional range of these species.
