In these beetles, you cannot follow the line of A1 closest to the back end of the bug all the way across the beetle without interruption because the legs get in the way. The antennae of dytiscids and hydrophilids are very different, so it’s easy to tell the two apart.

Today I’m going to focus on two aquatic beetle groups that a lot of people have a hard time telling apart from one another: the predaceous diving beetles (family Dytiscidae, the dytiscids) and the water scavenger beetles (family Hydrophilidae, the hydrophilids). The Dytiscids (predaceous diving beetles) are mostly large (1-1/2 inches long) beetles with sharp mandibles, dark colors (some have golden highlights), a distinctive shape: elongate-oval, and the hind legs are flattened and fringed. 2011, Sýkora et al.

Here we demonstrate that the dryland species, Brachinus explodens and B. crepitans, develop on pupae of ground beetles of the genus Amara (Carabidae). Respiration in adults is similar to Dytiscidae, with an airstore under the elytra, which occasionally has to be renewed at the water surface. Now let’s flip the beetles over for a moment. 1972. 34(2): 221-236. You often need to look at a combination of these characters to be sure you’ve correctly identified one of these beetles, but it’s not too bad when you know what to look for. A total of 11 species of Noteridae in three genera, 27 species of Dytiscidae in 10 genera and 22 species of Hydrophilidae in nine genera were identified in this study. Dytiscidae (predaceous diving beetles) Hydrophilidae (water scavenger beetles) Shape of cross-section of abdomen: Approximately oval: Approximately triangular or semi-circular: Spine along center of thorax: Never has spine: Spine often present: A1 segment: Split into 2 parts by legs: Continuous, not split by legs: Antennae: Filamentous: Clubbed _____ They are among the most useful of McKenna Pond (McK).

I do believe this is Hydrophilidae actually, genus Berosus not Tropisternus, not even Hydrophilidae Looks like a Hydrophilidae We also analysed the mean number of Culex egg rafts per night in each pool. Dytiscids belong to the suborder Adephaga while the hydrophilids belong to the Polyphaga, so their A1 sections look different on the underside of their bodies. If you’re looking at the right part, the actual antennae and not the palps, it is very easy to tell these two beetles apart. I don’t blame them! with the Dytiscidae or Hydrophilidae), and prefer to get around by crawling. Then we need to look at a different part. Thanks for pointing it out.
