Phylogenetic reclassification and genitalic morphology of the small water strider genusNesidoveliaAndersen & Weir and allied Microveliinae (Hemiptera:Veliidae)

Phylogenetic analyses of the Australasian Microveliinae is given, including a reanalysis of Andersen and Weir ( ) dataset and an analysis of a new dataset of 46 morphological characters and 42 taxa. Analyses focused on pregenital, genital and postgenital structures of males and females, including putative male grasping and female anti‐grasping structures. Phylogenetic analyses resulted in a redefinition of the genus Nesidovelia Andersen &...
