| Abstract | The Australian Hyphydrus (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) species, H. decemmaculatus WEHNCKE and H. effeminatus WATTS, are synonymised based on mtDNA sequence data and larval morphology despite the considerable differences in adult sexual dimorphism. Comments are made on the concept of a sexual arms race in this species and the three other Australian Hyphydrus species and it is concluded that this is not obviously the case in these species. A key is given to the adults of the four Australian species and one form. Colour illustrations of all species and forms are included. |
