Gerridae View in CoL is the second richest family of semiaquatic bugs in Argentina, with 18 described species in 11 genera. Andersen (1982) classified the Gerridae View in CoL in eight subfamilies, of which Charmatometrinae View in CoL , Cylindrostethinae View in CoL , Gerrinae View in CoL , Halobatinae View in CoL , Rhagadotarsinae , and Trepobatinae View in CoL are represented in the Argentinean fauna. Two tribes are currently recognized in the Gerrinae View in CoL , following the classification proposed by Andersen (1995): Gerrini View in CoL and Tachygerrini View in CoL , both of which are present in Argentina. The Halobatinae View in CoL are classified in two tribes ( Andersen and Weir 2004), and only the Halobatini View in CoL have been recorded from Argentina. Four tribes are currently recognized in the Trepobatinae ( Polhemus and Polhemus 2002) View in CoL , of which only the Metrobatini View in CoL and the Trepobatini View in CoL are recorded from the country.
