Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Taxobox Colossochares is an Afrotropical genus of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae represented by two described species.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus Colossochares was created in 2021 to group two species of Afrotropical water scavenger beetles in the subfamily Acidocerinae that were formerly placed in the genus Helochares.[1]
Evidence for separating these species from Helochares and constituting a new genus was provided by molecular data.[2]
Description
Relatively large beetles (8.5–14.0 mm), dark brown in coloration, very convex in lateral view. A diagnosis of the genus was presented by Girón and Short.[1]
