Gyretes iricolor
Gyretes iricolor is a species of whirligig beetle described by Young in 1947. It is one of three genera of Gyrinidae occurring in Missouri and the central United States, alongside Dineutus and Gyrinus. The genus Gyretes has been documented from 64 of 75 Arkansas counties and is considered common throughout the Ozark region. Like other whirligig beetles, members of this genus inhabit the surface film of freshwater bodies.
