Hydaticus

Belongs within: Dytiscinae.

Hydaticus is a cosmopolitan genus of diving beetles characterised by straight anterolateral margins on the metasternum, a stridulatory device in males consisting of a region of reticulate cells on the dorsum of the second protarsal segment and a series of pegs along the dorsal margin of the protibia, and an irregularly rugulose surface to the pronotum and the humeral regions of the elytra in females (Miller 2003).
