Abstract:
|
In the present study, faunistic data on water bugs from urban area of Hanoi has been
catalogued for the first time. From our surveys, we have identified a total of 23 species of 12
genera and nine families of aquatic bugs (Nepomorpha) and semi-aquatic bugs (Gerromorpha)
from the studied area. The water bug fauna in Hanoi is of a typical lowland fauna in Southeast
Asia mainland, comprising many species with wide distribution. Several taxa are expected to exist
in the studied area, but they have not been seen during our field collection, suggesting further field
studies are needed. |
