features
The beetles look very similar to those of the genus Haliplus but differ from this in their strongly arched, humped body shape, the very coarse punctiform structure of their surface, a fine unpunctured stripe on the rear half of the wing cover near the wing cover seam and longer end links of the tarsi .
Occurrence and way of life
Similar to those of the genus Haliplus, the animals live on aquatic plants in stagnant or slowly flowing waters.
