Eretes
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Eretes is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae. The genus is native to the Afro-tropical region, the Palearctic (including Europe), the Near East, North Africa and the Asian region.
A 2002 revision of the genus established four species. Species of this genus are variable in size and color, and individuals of a given species can be varied in appearance as well, so the morphology of the male genitalia is used to delimit species.[1]
The beetles are yellowish in color with black markings. They have large heads with long antennae.[1]
Species:[1]
- Eretes australis (Erichson, 1842)
- Eretes explicitus K.B.Miller, 2002
