Helochares punctatus is a species of water scavenger beetles in the hydrophilid subfamily Acidocerinae. The species is native to the western Palearctic realm, where it was originally reported from western Europe (Spain to Denmark)[1] and more recently from as far as Morocco and Iran.[2][3] In the 2020s, it was reported as introduced and established in southwestern British Columbia, Canada.[4]
