This paper contains a systematic review of Notonectidae for necessary corrections of gender according to the ICZN Code. Anisops and Buenoa Kirkaldy, 1904, within Anisopinae, and Enithares Spinola, 1837 in Notonectinae have species names with feminine and masculine grammatical endings. Seventeen species-group names were identified as not agreeing in grammatical gender with the genus-group names with which they are combined, and are corrected here.
