Abstract

Abstract Nine species of marine Gerridae belonging to the genus Halobates Eschscholtz, 1822 have been so far known from Indian waters. Here, Halobates sexualis Distant, 1903 is reported for the first time in India from the Vellar and Saptamukhi estuaries along the east coast. In addition, a variation from the original description is noted in the body size of the specimens collected.

1903年印度河口首次记录的海洋水黾Halobates sexualis(半翅目:水黾科)

自1822年以来，在印度水域已发现了9种海生Gerridae，属于Halobates Eschscholtz属。这是在印度东海岸的Vellar和Saptamukhi河口首次报道的Halobates sexualis Distant, 1903。此外，在收集到的标本的身体大小上也注意到与原始描述的差异。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects. The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites). The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged. Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
