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]

Species

  1. Colossochares ellipticus (d'Orchymont, 1933) [3]
  2. Colossochares satoi (Hebauer, 2003) [4]
