Halobates germanus White, 1883 View in CoL
Halobates germanus View in CoL is an Indo-Pacific species. It is widespread in the Indian Ocean and the waters of Southeast Asia but is absent east of longitude 125°W in the Pacific ( Andersen & Cheng, 2004; Ikawa et al., 2012). Unlike H. micans View in CoL which occurs in the open ocean far from land, H. germanus View in CoL tends to be found closer to island shores. It is the only pelagic species commonly found in the Red Sea (including the Gulf of Aqaba), the northern Arabian Sea (including the Gulf of Oman), the Bay of Bengal, and the archipelagic waters of Indonesia. It was the most common of the three Halobates species collected by us ( Table 1, Fig. 2B), and has been previously recorded from adjacent

waters ( Cheng, 1989), on which basis Andersen & Foster (1992) included Maldives within the range of this species. However, our specimens appear to be the first records of H. germanus actually from Maldivian waters. It is easily distinguished from H. formidabilis by its much smaller size ( Fig. 5A View Fig ) and the structure of the male genitalia ( Fig. 5B, C View Fig ).
