Vatellus is a genus of predaceous diving beetles in the family Dytiscidae, tribe Vatellini. The genus contains 15 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region, with most species described by K.B. Miller in 2005. Members are aquatic beetles adapted to freshwater habitats.
Vatellus mexicanus
Vatellus mexicanus is a diving beetle species in the family Dytiscidae, subfamily Hydroporinae, and tribe Vatellini. First described by Sharp in 1882, this species is distributed across Middle America and North America. As a member of the Vatellini, it belongs to a group of small to minute diving beetles often associated with riparian habitats. The genus Vatellus contains species that are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions.
