Evolution
= Origins
=The origins of the genus are among water striders of Veliidae family without propelling fans on their legs.
= Evolution from water striders
=Genes 'geisha' and 'mother-of-geisha'
The duplication of genes, called by researchers 'geisha' and 'mother-of-geisha', caused evolutionary creation of propelling fans on middle pair of water strider's legs which in its turn has made able for species in the genus to walk across more fast-flowing and turbulent streams.
