Diving Beetle
The Dytiscidae, from the Ancient Greek word δυτικός (''dystikos''), meaning "able to dive", are the predaceous diving beetles, a Family (biology), family of water beetles. They occur in virtually any freshwater habitat around the world, but a few species live in terrestrial habitats such as among leaf litter. The “diving” in their common name comes from their cycling between underwater and the surface to replenish oxygen like a diver. The adults of most are between long, though much variation is seen between species. The European ''Dytiscus latissimus'' and Brazilian ''Bifurcitus ducalis'' are the largest, reaching up to respectively, although the latter is listed as extinct by the IUCN. In contrast, the smallest is likely the Australian ''Limbodessus atypicali'' of subterranean waters, which only is about long. Most are dark brown, blackish, or dark olive (color), olive in color with golden highlights in some subfamilies. The larvae are commonly known as water tigers ...

Copelatus
''Copelatus'' is a large genus of small diving beetles. There are some 470 described species in the genus, found worldwide, but they are most diverse in tropical South America, Africa and South-East Asia. Copelatus are often black or brown in color, many species of Copelatus possessing visible longitudinal furrows down the dorsal side of the wings of both sexes. Systematics The genus ''Copelatus'' is divided into several subgenera (''Colepatus'', ''Papuadytes'' etc.), some of which are sometimes treated as separate genera. It may be paraphyletic with respect to the smaller Copelatinae genera '' Lacconectus'' and '' Aglymbus''.Balke,M et al., MtDNA phylogeny and biogeography of Copelatinae, a highly diverse group of tropical diving beetles (Dytiscidae).

Félix Guignot
Félix Guignot was a French physician and entomologist, born on 16 November 1882 in Avignon, France. After studying medicine at the University of Montpellier he established a Medical practice, private practice in his hometown of Avignon. He practiced family medicine and Obstetrics. The region around Avignon provided many excellent opportunities to collect water beetles, including large rivers and the Camargue wetlands. His first entomological article, the description of ''Siettitia avenionensis'', was published in 1925 in the Bulletin of the Entomological Society of France. Guignot found the specimen for this description in a basin of water pumped from a farm well, which he had requested while delivering a baby at the farm. Through his publications of 188 articles Guignot became a recognized expert on hydradephagan water beetles. His classic work, ''The Hydrocanthares of France'', won the 1932 Dollfus prize of the Entomological Society of France. His contributions to science inc ...

Beetles Described In 1958
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ...
