In this paper we present new records and an updated overview of the waterbugs recorded on the Dutch Caribbean islands. This work is based on material collected by the authors in 2022-2023 and material present in several collections. A total of 45 species of waterbugs have been recorded in the Dutch Caribbean, including seven which are recorded here as new: Belostoma minusculum, Lethocerus annulipes, L. maximus, Corisella edulis, Tenagobia spinifera, Rheumatobates imitator and an undescribed species of Rheumatobates. A checklist of the species, habitus photographs and a discussion on the faunal composition of each island are provided.
