Cymbiodyta
Cymbiodyta is a genus of water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae: Enochrinae) comprising 31 described species. The genus exhibits a strikingly disjunct distribution: 28 species occur in the Americas, while only three species inhabit the Palearctic region. A fossil species from Eocene Baltic amber (C. samueli) confirms the genus has persisted in Europe since at least the Eocene, supporting biogeographic reconstructions indicating an ancient Euro-American distribution dating to the Late Cretaceous when land connections existed between North America and Europe.
Cymbiodyta pacifica
Cymbiodyta pacifica is a species of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae, first described by Leech in 1948. It is found in western North America, with records from British Columbia, Canada, and several western U.S. states including California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Like other members of its family, it is associated with aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats. The species is part of the subfamily Enochrinae, which contains many small to medium-sized hydrophilid beetles.
