4 Neartic Genera Spanglero
4 Neartic Genera

Spanglerogyrus - < 3mm (1 sp. South, East)
Gyretes - 3-5mm; pronotal/elytral margins pubescent (4 spp. West, South)
Dineutus - 9-15 mm (41 spp. Widespread)
Gyrinus - 4-7 mm (14 spp Widespread)

That should be all you need to key it out... be sure to give a size when you post something

Editors: perhaps this can be added to the family info page as a key... taken from merritt & cummins

Thanks!
Looks like Dineutus to me :-)

I'll go ahead and copy your key too

Haha, don't suppose you can key it to species??
