Allocotocerus is a genus of water beetles in the family Hydrophilidae, first described by Ernst Gustav Kraatz in 1883.[1][2] The decision for synonymy is based on Hansen (1999).[1][3]
The Australian beetles of this genus are found in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.[1]
Watts[4] separates the three genera of Hydrophilidae (Amphiops, Allocotocerus, and Regimbartia) which occur in Australia, by describing species from the genus Allocotocerus as being black, of length 3.5—4.5 mm, having meso- and meta-tibiae with swimming hairs, normal eyes, and elytra as long as high and having almost no striae.
