Aquarius remigis   

Conservationis status

LC

Vigens (IUCN 3.1)

Aquarius remigis est species hemipterorum aquaticorum familiae Gerridarum. Olim Gerris remigis appellabatur, sed subgenus Aquarius ad gradum genericum anno 1990 levatum est, secundum enodationem phylogeneticam. Aquarius remigis per omnem Americam Septentrionalem, sed praecipue in regione medio occidentali Civitatum Foederatarum invenitur.

Descriptio

Aquarius remigis usque ad dimidiam unciam et plus crescit, colore atrofuscus ad nigrum. Rostro acuto corpus praedae perforat et res intestinas exsugit. Victus plerumque est larvae culicum subsuperficiales, insecta mortua in superficie inventa, et alia invertebrata quae in aquam cadunt.
