In the present study faunistic data on water bugs from urban area of Hanoi has been catalogued for the first time. From our surveys we have identified a total of 23 species of 12 genera and nine families of aquatic bugs Nepomorpha and semi-aquatic bugs Gerromorpha from the studied area. The water bug fauna in Hanoi is of a typical lowland fauna in Southeast Asia mainland comprising many species with wide distribution. Several taxa are expected to exist in the studied area but they have not been seen during our field collection suggesting further field studies are needed. Keywords water bugs Hemiptera Gerromorpha Nepomorpha Hanoi. 1. Introduction Hanoi is situated in the centre of the Red River delta in the North of Vietnam with a typical humid subtropical climate.
