Aquarius (bug)
''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 long and males roughly 10–30% smaller, depending on the exact species. An outlier is ''A. elongatus'' where both sexes typically are about , roughly the same as certain '' Cylindrostethus'', and second only to ''Gigantometra gigas''. Species There are 17 species in the genus ''Aquarius'': *'' Aquarius adelaidis'' (Dohrn, 1860) *'' Aquarius amplus'' (Drake & Harris, 1938) *'' Aquarius antigone'' (Kirkaldy, 1899) *'' Aquarius chilensis'' (Berg, 1881) *'' Aquarius cinereus'' (Puton, 1869) *'' Aquarius conformis'' (Uhler, 1878) *'' Aquarius distanti'' (Horváth, 1899) *'' Aquarius elongatus'' (Uhler, 1896) *'' Aquarius fabricii'' Andersen, 1990 *'' Aquarius lili'' D.A.

Gigantometra Gigas
''Gigantometra'' is a monotypic genus of water-strider bugs, containing the species ''Gigantometra gigas'': its name indicating that it is the largest species in its family Gerridae. It has been found in pools of fast-flowing, subtropical and tropical forest streams, on Hainan Island and highland northern Vietnam.

Sexual dimorphism is common throughout the Gerridae and sexual selection Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection in which members of one biological sex choose mates of the other sex to mate with (intersexual selection), and compete with members of the same sex for access to members of the opposite sex (in ... of males for large body size has been demonstrated in several species, including this one: where males are larger than females in all measured traits.

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gerridae
The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water skeeters, water scooters, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or water skimmers. Consistent with the classification of the Gerridae as true bugs (i.e., suborder Heteroptera), gerrids have mouthparts evolved for piercing and sucking, and distinguish themselves by having the unusual ability to walk on water, making them pleuston (surface-living) animals. They are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Over 1,700 species of gerrids have been described, 10% of them being marine. While 90% of the Gerridae are freshwater bugs, the oceanic '' Halobates'' makes the family quite exceptional among insects. The genus ''Halobates'' was first heavily studied between 1822 and 1883 when Buchanan-White collected several different species during th ...
