Gerridae

**Gerridae** sunt familia insectorum ordinis Hemipterorum. Vera heteroptera sunt, quia membra oralia habent ad pungendum et sugendum accommodata; potestate autem super aquam ambulandi distinguuntur. Pondus corporis tam per proprietates anatomicas distribuunt ut super superficiem aquae currere possint; qua pro causa, eae in paene omne flumine, stagno, lacu, palude inveniuntur. Plus quam 1700 species descriptae sunt, quarum decem centesimae sunt animalia maritima.

Nonaginta centesimae gerridarum sunt animalia aquae dulcis, sed ob genus *Halobatem,* quod in oceano habitat, familia est unica inter insecta. Genus *Halobates* primum penitus investigatum est inter 1872 et 1876, cum colligerentur nonnullae species variae per Challenger Expedition, primam mundi navigationem vere oceanographicam. Antea Ioannes Fridericus de Eschscholtz, entomologus Baltico-Germanicus, tres gerridarum species invenerat et divulgaverat, quamquam eorum biologia erat paene omnino ignota. Cannibalismus aliquando fit.
