摘要
The taxonomy and precise distribution of the species of the genus Hydrophilus Geoffroy, 1762 from Mexico and Central America are reviewed, based on the morphological study of 499 adult specimens, descriptions and literature records. Hydrophdus (Dibolocelus) purpuracens Regimbart, 1901 is recorded for the first time for Mexico. Species with widest distribution are H. (H.) ensifer Brulle, 1837 cited from 5 countries and in the Antilles, and H. (H) insularis Castelnau, 1840 cited from 4 countries and the Antilles. The richest countries are Mexico with 5 species, and Costa Rica and Nicaragua with 3 species. The highest species richness is recorded for the state of Veracruz, Mexico, and from the departments of Leon and Rio San Juan, Nicaragua. An illustrated key to the species is included.
