Aquarius (genus)
Aquarius est genus hemipterorum familiae Gerridarum hemisphaerii septentrionalis. Quod olim subgenus, ad gradum genericum post enodationem phylogeneticam anno 1990 levatum est. Singuli huius generis sunt inter maximas mundi gerridas, feminis 12–17 millimetra longis, maribusque 10–30 centesimis minoribus, secundum speciem. Ambo autem sexus speciei Aquarii elongati sunt circiter 24 millimetra longi adulti, eadem magnitudine certorum Cylindrostethorum, et solum Gigantometris gigantibus minores.
