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.
