Genus Aneurocoris Montandon, 1897 View in CoL View at ENA
The genus Aneurocoris includes only two known species, both of which are endemic to Lake Tanganyika: Aneurocoris insolitus Montandon and Aneurocoris marlieri Poisson. Poisson (1960 c) provided a comparison of A. insolitus with A. marlieri from the north-western shoreline in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Coulter (1991) and Irvine & Donohue (1999) indicated that these species live on the underside of stones in shallow water and possibly remain submerged throughout their life cycle. Polhemus and Polhemus (2008 a) were in error in reporting that two endemic genera of Naucoridae are known from Lake Tanganyika. The second naucorid genus known from the lake is Naucoris (Montandon 1913 b; Poisson 1967), which is not an endemic but occurs widely throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Aneurocoris is the only endemic genus of Naucoridae known from Lake Tanganyika.
