Английская Википедия:Crephelochares
Crephelochares is a genus of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae represented by 29 described species.[1] It is distributed across the Afrotropical, Australasian, Indo-Malayan, and Palaearctic realms. [1]
Taxonomy
The genus Crephelochares was described for the first time by August Ferdinand Kuwert in 1890 [2] as a subgenus of the genus Helochares.
Then it was considered a synonym of Chasmogenus,[3] but thanks to the results of a phylogenetic analysis involving molecular data,[4] both taxa are now considered distinct genera on their own right. [1]
Description
Small size (2.5–4.8 mm), bearing a clearly visible sutural stria; long maxillary palps; metafemora densely covered by hydrofuge pubescence.
A diagnosis was presented by Girón and Short. [1]
