Peltodytes lengi - ventral - Peltodytes duodecimpunctatus
Bowman Creek, South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, USA
July 23, 2010
Size: approx 3-4 mm
Keyed out to P. lengi based on: http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/biod/waterbeetles/haliplidae/peltodytes/key-us.html

Might be P. duodecimpunctatus; not entirely sure what a "large to obscure subhumeral blotch almost on lateral margin" of elytra would look like in comparison, but I don't think this specimen has it.
