wrong ID
This is not Hydrachna, but a species of Limnesia. I can't clearly see the genital field, but if there are 4 pairs of genital acetabula (the small discs on the central plates) then its probably Limnesia wawaseea (which is this colour).

 
genital acetabula
In the full size image, I can see four pairs of plates in a four-leaf clover arrangement.
