Notonecta viridis


Subspecies
Some authors recognize subspecies. I do not recognize subspecies here and list all published names in the synonymy below.


Original description



Synonyms
Notonecta viridis Delcourt, 1909
Notonecta viridis viridis Delcourt, 1909
Notonecta marmorea viridis (Delcourt, 1909)
Notonecta halophila Edwards, 1918

Misidentifications:
Notonecta fabricii marmorea auct. nec Fabricius, 1803
Fieber, 1851:50
Notonecta marmorea auct. nec Fabricius, 1803
Notonecta marmorea marmorea auct. nec Fabricius, 1803
Esaki, 1928:67
Stichel, 1955:86

Note: The type specimens of the nominal taxon Notonecta marmorea Fabricius, 1803 are in fact Notonecta maculata. Some authors argue that the original description of Notonecta marmorea is more similar to the present species than to Notonecta maculata and therefore use this name for the present species. However, the usage of a name is fixed to the physical type specimen, not to the description. Thus, the name Notonecta marmorea is a synonym of Notonecta maculata, not of the present species.
