Rheumatobates is a genus of water striders in the family Gerridae. There are more than 30 described species in Rheumatobates. [1] [2] [3]
These 39 species belong to the genus Rheumatobates:
Ranatra is a genus of slender predatory insects of the family Nepidae, known as water scorpions or water stick-insects. There are around 100 Ranatra species found in freshwater habitats around the world, both in warm and temperate regions, with the highest diversity in South America and Asia. Fewer are found elsewhere, but include several African, some in North America, three from Australia and three from the Palearctic, notably the relatively well-known European R. linearis.
Gerris is a bug genus in the family Gerridae.
Geophilus is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae largely considered to be synonymous with Brachygeophilus. It is a mostly holarctic genus characterized by a claw-shaped ultimate pretarsus, anterior porefields, complete or nearly complete coxo-pleural sutures at the prosternum, and incomplete chitin-lines. The generic name first appeared in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopaedia in 1814 as Geophilus electricus.
Aquarius is a genus of water striders found predominantly in the northern hemisphere. Formerly a subgenus, Aquarius was elevated to generic rank in 1990 on the basis of phylogenetic analysis. These are among the world's largest water striders, with females averaging 12–17 mm (0.47–0.67 in) long and males roughly 10–30% smaller, depending on the exact species. An outlier is A. elongatus where both sexes typically are about 24 mm (0.94 in), roughly the same as certain Cylindrostethus, and second only to Gigantometra gigas.
Mesovelia is a genus of water treaders in the family Mesoveliidae. There are more than 30 described species in Mesovelia.
Trepobates is a genus of water striders in the family Gerridae. There are 12 described species in Trepobates.
Pentacora is a genus of shore bugs in the family Saldidae. There are about 12 described species in Pentacora.
Micracanthia is a genus of shore bugs in the family Saldidae. There are about 15 described species in Micracanthia.
Hallodapini is a tribe of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are more than 50 genera in Hallodapini.
Ioscytus is a genus of shore bugs in the family Saldidae. There are about seven described species in Ioscytus.
Limnogonus is a genus of water striders in the family Gerridae. There are 28 described species in Limnogonus.
Ochterus is a genus of velvety shore bugs in the family Ochteridae. There are more than 70 described species in Ochterus.
Metrobates is a genus of water striders in the family Gerridae. There are about 16 described species in Metrobates.
Platyvelia is a genus of smaller water striders in the family Veliidae. There are about nine described species in Platyvelia.
