Mesoveliidae is a family of water treaders in the order Hemiptera. There are about 16 genera and at least 50 described species in Mesoveliidae. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Genera

These 12 extant genera belong to the family Mesoveliidae.

• Austrovelia Malipatil and Monteith, 1983 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Cavaticovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980 ^{[1] [2]}
• Cryptovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Darwinivelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Madeovelia Poisson, 1959 ^{[2] [3]}
• Mesovelia Mulsant & Rey, 1852 ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
• Mesoveloidea Hungerford, 1929 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Mniovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Nereivelia J. Polhemus and D. Polhemus, 1989 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Phrynovelia Horváth, 1915 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Seychellovelia Andersen and D. Polhemus, 2003 ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• Speovelia Esaki, 1929 ^{[1] [2] [3]}

While traditionally divided in two subfamilies, Madeoveliinae (including Madeovelia and Mesoveloidea) and Mesoveliinae (all other genera), molecular phylogenetics suggests Mesoveliinae are polyphyletic and thus the subfamily-level classification should be abandoned. ^[5]
