“…From Damgaard et al (2010) we obtained 17 species of Limnogonus, as well as Tenagogerris euphrosyne (Kirkaldy, 1902) and Onychotrechus esakii Andersen, 1980 (Eotrechinae). Finally, from Damgaard (2008a) we obtainedEurygerris fuscinervis, Metrocoris strictus Chen & Nieser, 1993 (Halobatinae), Ptilomera kirkaldyi Hungerford & Matsuda, 1965 (Ptilomerinae), Brachymetra unca Shaw, 1933 (Charmatometrinae), Trepobates subnitidus Esaki, 1926(Trepobatinae), Rhagadotarsus kraepelini Breddin, 1905, Cylindrostethus costalis Schmidt, 1915 (Cylindrostethinae) and Velia cwpraz Tamanini, 1947 from the family Veliidae.…”

“…and L. (Limnogonoides) Poisson, 1965, which are foremost recognized on the presence respective absence of two light elongated spots on the anterior part of the pronotum, but as shown by Andersen (1995a) only Limnogonus (s.str.) could be diag nosed on convincing synapomorphies, and Damgaard et al (2010) found that the subgenera were not reciprocally monophyletic. While Limnogonus was not strongly diagnosed by Andersen (1995a), he diagnosed the clade comprising Limnogonus and Tenagometrella on the unique structure of the metasternal tubercle and scent orifice as well as several character reversals.…”

“…The study confirmed most of the species-groups established by Andersen (1990Andersen ( , 1993 and Andersen & Spence (1992), but revealed that their relationships dif fered considerably from what was previously recognized, mainly in Aquarius not being a monophyletic taxon, since A. remigis (Say 1832) and its close relatives A. amplus (Drake & Harris, 1938) and A. remigoides (Gallant & Fairbairn, 1993), together rec ognized as the A. remigis-group, were more closely related to Gerris than to congeners, and that the Neotropical A. chilensis (Berg 1888) was placed unresolved at the root of the tree. No other gerrine genera have been studied in similar detail, but Damgaard et al (2010) studied the phylogeny of Limnogonus using DNA sequence data from the same compartment of genes as Damgaard (2006), and suggested the subgeneric clas sification in Limnogonus (s.str.) and Limnogonus (Limnogonoides) be replaced with a number of monophyletic species-groups.…”

“…The present study investigates the molecular phylogenetic relationships of Gerrinae by combining the studies by Damgaard (2006Damgaard ( , 2008a and Damgaard et al (2010) with a number of genera and species from the Gerrinae and Eotrechinae not previously included in phylogenetic analyses. Figure 1 shows the phylogenetic relationship within and between these two subfamilies from Damgaard (2012) based on a compilation of two studies, each including a complete sampling of genera (J.T.…”

The phylogenetic relationships among selected species and genera of Gerrinae (Heteroptera: Gerridae) were investigated in a parsimony analysis of 2268 bp o f D N A sequence data from the genes encoding C O I + I1, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA. The taxa represented 12 of 15 recognized genera of Gerrinae and with outgroup taxa from all other subfamilies of Gerridae, including three of five recognized genera of Eotrechinae, which is considered the sister-group of Gerrinae. The resulting phylogeny shows that Gerrinae is not monophyletic, since a clade comprising Gerris, Aquarius, Limnoporus, Tachygerris, Eurygerris and Gigantometra is more closely related to representatives of the subfamily Eotrechinae than to a clade comprising Limnogonus, Neogerris, Limnometra, Tenagogerris and Tenagogonus. The two currendy recognized gerrine tribes, Tachygerrini and Gerrini, were also paraphyletic, since Eurygerris was sister-group to Gigantometra, while Tachygerris was sister-group to Limnoporus + Aquarius + Gerris. Limnogonus and Neogerris were found to be strongly supported sister-taxa, and their sister-group was a clade comprising Limnometra, Tenagogerris and Tenagogonus, none o f which were monophyletic. Finally, Aquarius chilensis (Berg, 1881) was sister-group to a clade comprising Aquarius amplus (Drake & Harris, 1938), A. remigis (Say, 1832) and A. remigoides (Gallant & Fairbaim, 1993), recognized as the A. remigis species group, and the entire clade was sister-group to Gerris. Based on the phylogenetic reconstruction, we oudine possible diagnostic character combinations for a future revision o f the Gerrinae and discuss the fossil record. While some of the relationships reinstate earlier ideas, e.g., Limnogonus and Neogerris being sister groups, many others are poorly supported and poorly diagnosed, and therefore, we retain from drawing taxonomic conclusions until data is available from the remaining genera, which can support a future generic revision of the Gerrinae. The updated checklist o f species assigned to the subfamily is there fore based on the established taxonomy.

“…In the Heteroptera suborder, the COI gene, along with other genes and morphological characteristics, has been used to infer the evolution of some taxa, such as the infraorder (Pentatomomorpha), superfamily (Pentatomidae), family (Anthocoridae), and genus (Limnogonus) (Muraji et al, 2000;Li et al, 2005;Grazia et al, 2008;Damgaard et al, 2010).…”

Gondwanan vicariance, long‐distance dispersal (LDD), and boreotropical migration have been proposed as alternative hypotheses explaining the pantropical distribution pattern of organisms. In this study, the historical biogeography of the pond skater genus Limnogonus was reconstructed to evaluate the impact of biogeographical scenarios in shaping their modern transoceanic disjunction. We sampled almost 65% of recognized Limnogonus species. Four DNA fragments including 69 sequences were used to reconstruct a phylogram. Divergence time was estimated using a Bayesian relaxed clock method and three fossil calibrations. Diversification dynamics and ancestral area reconstruction were investigated by using maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches. Our results showed the crown group of Limnogonus originated and diversified in Africa in the early Eocene (49 Ma, HPD: 38–60 Ma), subsequently expanding into other regions via dispersal. The colonization of the New World originated from the Oriental Region probably via the Bering Land Bridge in the late Eocene. Two split events between the Old World and New World were identified: one between Neotropics and Oriental region around the middle Oligocene (30 Ma, HPD: 22–38 Ma), and the other between Neotropics and Africa during the middle Miocene (14 Ma, HPD: 8–21 Ma). The evolutionary history of Limnogonus involved two biogeographical processes. Gondwanan vicariance was not supported in our analyses. The diversification of Limnogonus among Africa, Oriental, and Neotropical regions corresponded with the age of land bridge connection and dispersed as a member associated with the broad boreotropical belt before local cooling (34 Ma). The current transoceanic disjunctions in Limnogonus could be better explained by the disruption of “mixed‐mesophytic” forest belt; however, the direct transoceanic LDD between the Neotropics and Africa could not be ruled out. In addition, the “LDD” model coupled with island hopping could be a reasonable explanation for the diversification of the Oriental and Australian regions during the Oligocene.
