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).
