Aspidytes is a genus of aquatic beetles in the family Aspidytidae, first recorded in 2002 from specimens in South Africa .[1] The genus contains the single species Aspidytes niobe.[2][3] Originally a second species from China was placed in the same genus but has later been transferred to Sinaspidytes.[4] The aquatic beetle is 6.5 - 7.2 mm long and lives in hygropetric habitats.[5]
