Abstract

A previous review of genus- and family-group names of the water-beetle family Dytiscidae is updated. Additions include the names described within the last six years and some older, previously overlooked names, chiefly given by Gistel. Type species are designated for Hydatoporus Gistel, Hyobius Gistel, Icmaleus Gistel, and Prosciastes Gistel. Actobaenidae Gistel is considered a senior subjective synonym of Hyphydrini Sharp. Conservation of Hyphydrini is recommended.
