Acidocerinae Explained

Acidocerinae is a subfamily in the family Hydrophilidae of aquatic beetles, and it contains over 500 species in 23 genera.[1]

Taxonomy

Acidocerinae has been considered a subfamily since Short and Fikáček restructured the classification of the Hydrophilidae in 2013.[2] The entire classification history of the Acidocerinae was revised by Girón and Short in 2021, based on the results of a phylogenetic analysis.[3]

The subfamily currently contains over 500 species in 24 genera, some of which were erected in 2021.
