Hydrophilidae, also known colloquially as water scavenger beetles, is a family of beetles.[1][2] Aquatic hydrophilids are notable for their long maxillary palps, which are longer than their antennae.[3] Several of the former subfamilies of Hydrophilidae have recently been removed and elevated to family rank; Epimetopidae, Georissidae (= Georyssidae), Helophoridae, Hydrochidae, and Spercheidae.[1][4] While the majority of hydrophilids are aquatic, around a third of described species are terrestrial, mostly belonging to the subfamily Sphaeridiinae.[5][6]

With rare exceptions, the larvae are predatory while the adults may be herbivores or predators in addition to scavenging.[7] Many species are able to produce sounds.[8]

Species of Hydrophilus are reported as pests in fish hatcheries.[7] Other species are voracious consumers of mosquito larvae, and have potential as biological control agents.[7][9]

This beetle family contains 2,835 species in 169 genera.[10]
