Limnogonus is a genus of water striders in the family Gerridae. There are 28 described species in Limnogonus. Similar to other gerromorphan bugs, most species of Limnogonus have both macropterous wing morphs, which means that they are often able to fly. The wings are thought to be an adaptation to help the insects get away from drought allowing them to fly to the next available area that has water bodies when the rainy season arrives.
