Abstract
The history of study in Russia is reviewed and the distribution ranges are clarified for water striders of the genus Gerris: G. (s. str.) costae, G. (s. str.) thoracicus, G. (Gerriselloides) asper, G. (Gerriselloides) brachynotus, and G. (Gerriselloides) lateralis. A critical review of the faunistic literature and erroneous records of these species from Russia is given. Distribution maps with new locations are provided for G. (Gerriselloides) asper and G. (Gerriselloides) brachynotus. The preference of species of the subgenera Gerris, Gerriselloides, and Macrogerris with a brownish dorsum for the shady parts of water bodies is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Entomological Review publishes papers dealing with all aspects of theoretical and applied entomology; and covers systematics, faunistics, zoogeography, evolution, ecology, morphology, physiology of insects, spiders and mites; as well as biological and chemical control of pests. It is one of the few entomological journals with a broad coverage.
