Batochares is an Afrotropical genus of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae represented by three described species. [1] [2]
The genus Batochares was described for the first time as a subgenus of Helochares by d’Orchymont in 1939; [3] since the author did not explicitly designate a type species, the name was validated by fixing a Type species by Hansen in 1991. [1]
Small-sized beetles (3–4 mm), pale brown in coloration, usually with a mottled appearance. A diagnosis of the genus was presented by Girón and Short. [2]
