Halobates micans Eschscholtz, 1822 View in CoL
Halobates micans View in CoL is the only cosmopolitan species of Halobates View in CoL and is widely distributed in the warm tropical and subtropical oceanic waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans ( Herring, 1961; Cheng, 1989). It has only occasionally been found in the relatively shallow waters of the Sunda Shelf ( Andersen & Cheng, 2004), including the waters around Singapore and peninsular Malaysia ( Tran et al., 2015). In Maldivian waters, this species has been collected further offshore than any other marine insect species ( Herring, 1961; Fig. 2C).
