Tiporus Watts, 1985 View in CoL

Tribe Hydroporini . Small (3.3–5.0 mm), oval and black beetles. Some species with reddish spots on the elytra and the pronotum. From the related genus Sekaliporus Watts, 1997 , where the lateral margins of the elytron and of the pronotum form a nearly continuous straight or slightly sinuate line in combination, it can be distinguished by the elytral margin which is curved upwards to shoulders, and the 3-segmented male protarsi (Hendrich & Balke 2015). For a detailed generic analysis see Watts (2000).
