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]
