Abstract

Taxonomic notes on Amarodytes duponti (Aubé, 1838) (Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae, Bidessini) with redescription of male genitalia.� The male genitalia of the water beetle Amarodytes duponti (Aubé, 1838) are described and illustrated. The species was collected in small pools of rainwater on the margins of a river. A. duponti is distinguished from other species of the genus by the presence of bi�segmented parameres. This species is related to Bidessodes Régimbart, Hypodessus Guignot and Tepuidessus Spangler.
