ID Question
This looks very similar to one I posted from PA here. We though it was Enochrus. Is that incorrect and if not, how are they different? Thanks!

the PA one looks like Cymbiodyta to me too
I hope an aquatics specialist can confirm.

Enochrus cinctus?
I did a little research. At about 5 mm, Cymbiodyta vindicata looks like the only species likely to be in the area that gets close in size. Not sure they can get to the 6-7 mm range so perhaps it and my other submission are in Enochrus. I don't think I made an error but it's possible. I added info to that species page which includes links to images at MCZ and BOLD as well as some descriptions and keys. The Hilsenhoff references also includes a key to Enochrus found in Wisconsin. E. cinctus, consortus, and consors seem possible. E. cinctus is described "...The testaceous borders of the pronotum and elytra are more distinct and wider than in E. consortus; E. consors lacks pale borders."

Since I don't know how to separate the two genera, my comments may be pointless.

I wont lie...the aquatics have always been a weak area :)
