Aquatic Heteroptera occupy a broad spectrum of aquatic habitats, have a multitude of shapes, and are adapted to a broad variety of niches (Spencer and Andersen, 1994). The aquatic and semi aquatic groups of insects represent a significant level of diversity in India (Ghosh, 1996). Aquatic hemipterans stand out as an important group of aquatic insects, which are considered important in environmental reclamation of aquatic habitats and are often used to gauge toxins in an environment (Jansson 1987; Papacek 2001; Wollmann 2001).
