Abstract

The 1st blind, depigmented, aquifer-adapted water beetle of the family Dytiscidae is described from North America. Haideoporus texanus Young and Longley (n. genus, n. sp.) is superficially similar to Morimotoa phrcatica Ueno from Japan, but differs in possessing minute, apparently nonfunctional eyes, and in sensory setal vestiture and structure of the tarsi and external male genitalia.
