Hydrocanthus atripennis
Hydrocanthus atripennis is a species of burrowing water beetle in the family Noteridae. It is found in North America. The species belongs to the suborder Adephaga, a group of primarily predatory beetles. As a member of the Noteridae, it is adapted to aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats.
Hydrocanthus oblongus
Hydrocanthus oblongus is a small burrowing water beetle in the family Noteridae. The species inhabits aquatic environments in the Caribbean and North America. Like other noterids, it has been observed in shallow, muddy substrates where it burrows. The species was described by David Sharp in 1882.
Hydrocanthus regius
Hydrocanthus regius is a species of burrowing water beetle in the family Noteridae, described by Young in 1953. The genus Hydrocanthus comprises small aquatic beetles adapted to burrowing in muddy substrates. Species in this genus are found across North America. Very few observations of H. regius exist in public databases, suggesting it is either genuinely rare, under-recorded, or restricted to specific habitats.
Mesonoterus addendus
Mesonoterus addendus is a small diving beetle species in the family Noteridae, first described by Blatchley in 1920. The species belongs to a genus of burrowing water beetles adapted to aquatic habitats. Based on the limited available records, this species has been documented from the Caribbean and North America. The genus Mesonoterus contains species typically associated with shallow, often temporary aquatic habitats where they burrow in muddy or sandy substrates.
Suphisellus bicolor
Suphisellus bicolor is a species of burrowing water beetle in the family Noteridae, subfamily Noterinae. It was described by Thomas Say in 1830 and is known from the United States. As a member of the Noteridae, it belongs to a family of small aquatic beetles adapted to burrowing in muddy substrates of freshwater habitats.
Suphisellus gibbulus
Suphisellus gibbulus is a species of burrowing water beetle first described by Aubé in 1838. It belongs to the family Noteridae, a group of small aquatic beetles adapted to burrowing in muddy substrates. The species is known from the United States, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented.
Suphisellus lineatus
Suphisellus lineatus is a burrowing water beetle in the subfamily Noterinae, described by George Henry Horn in 1871. The species occupies freshwater habitats across parts of Central and North America, with documented occurrences in Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. Like other members of the genus Suphisellus, it is adapted to burrowing in muddy or sandy substrates of aquatic environments.
Suphisellus semipunctatus
Suphisellus semipunctatus is a small burrowing water beetle in the family Noteridae, measuring 2.3–2.6 mm in length. The species was originally described as Suphis semipunctatus by LeConte in 1878 and has also been placed in the genus Pronoterus. It occurs in the eastern United States, ranging west to Texas and Michigan.
