Mesoveliidae is a family of water treaders in the order Hemiptera. There are about 16 genera and at least 50 described species in Mesoveliidae.
Genera
These 12 extant genera belong to the family Mesoveliidae.
- Austrovelia Malipatil and Monteith, 1983
- Cavaticovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980
- Cryptovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980
- Darwinivelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980
- Madeovelia Poisson, 1959
- Mesovelia Mulsant & Rey, 1852
- Mesoveloidea Hungerford, 1929
- Mniovelia Andersen and J. Polhemus, 1980
- Nereivelia J. Polhemus and D. Polhemus, 1989
- Phrynovelia Horváth, 1915
- Seychellovelia Andersen and D. Polhemus, 2003
- Speovelia Esaki, 1929
While traditionally divided in two subfamilies, Madeoveliinae (including Madeovelia and Mesoveloidea) and Mesoveliinae (all other genera), molecular phylogenetics suggests Mesoveliinae are polyphyletic and thus the subfamily-level classification should be abandoned.
