Family Haliplidae

The crawling water beetles

reviewed and supplemented by R. Roughley, August 1992; checked by J.H. Epler, December 1995

Young (1954) provides an overview of most families of Florida water beetles. Many groups have been revised since this work was published and therefore some names have changed. Significantly, there were relatively few taxa to be added to Young's Florida list even if the nomenclature has changed somewhat.
