KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Hydrophiloidea, Hydrophilidae, Helophoridae,
Epimetopidae, Georissidae, Hydrochidae, Spercheidae, immature stages,
larva, pupa, egg case, biology, ecology, bibliography.
This bibliographic compilation started as a tool necessary for my research
on immature stages of hydrophilids. Considering the large amount of information
it contains, this list may be useful to many other researchers, therefore
making its publication worthwhile. It includes references in which immatures
(eggs, egg cases, larvae and pupae) are described or mentioned (i. e., as
part of a phylogenetic study, part of experimental observations, etc.).
Also general references that provide important and useful information on
the biology or ecology of hydrophilids have been included (i. e. habitats
in which adults can be collected, etc.).
Hydrophiloidea in this paper is considered in Hansen's (1991) sense. It
includes the following families: Helophoridae, Epimetopidae, Georissidae,
Hydrochidae, Spercheidae, and Hydrophilidae. Histeridae (considered by some
authors within the Hydrophiloidea) is not included. References that deal
with Hydraenidae, which until recently have been traditionally considered
within the Hydrophiloidea (now within Staphylinoidea), have been omitted.
This list contains close to 400 references. Of course I expect that some
references may have been overlooked, and to be able to complete and update
the present compilation, I would appreciate receiving any citations, reprints,
unpublished information (such as Ms. or Ph.D. theses), and also any corrections
to the present list.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge an anonymous reviewer for his comments,
and also Dr. P. J. Spangler for his comments and additions to the list.
