This is a very commonly collected Central American species; all eight countries are represented in the specimen locality data records given below.</p><p><b>Differential diagnosis.</b> Among Central American species, recognized by the combination of moderate size (ca. 2.76 mm), the densely punctate pronotum, the large and deep anteromedian pronotal fovea, the closely spaced serial elytral punctures, and the male genitalia (Figs. 10–12; described below). This very common species has a generalized <i>Hydrochus</i> habitus; reliable determinations will require dissection of males. Refer also to the differential diagnosis of <i>H. biexcavatus</i> <b>n. sp.</b></p><p><b>Redescription</b>. Habitus as illustrated (Figs. 21, 22). Size: Ca. (length/width, mm): body (length to elytral apices) 2.76/1.04; head width 0.64; pronotum l/w 0.62/0.64; PA 0.64; PB 0.56; elytra 1.76/1.04. Body size moderate (ca. 2.76 mm). Dorsum grey to greenish bronze, with strong to moderately strong iridescence, especially in anteromedian fovea of pronotum, elytra with large black spots. Punctation on elytra ca. 2–3x that of pronotum. Elytra interstriae ca. 1–1.5× strial puncture diameter. Interstria 9 th more convex than others, overhanging 10 th interstria. Usual area of callus on 5 th weakly raised, moderately elongate, ca. 7 punctures in row on each side.</p><p>Pronotum slightly wider than long, widest slightly behind anterior margin, narrowed at base, sides arcuate, smooth; anterior margin slightly bisinuate; rather uniformly densely punctate, except less dense in anteromedian fovea; depressions moderately deep, anteromedian deepest.</p><p>Elytra with spaces between strial punctures narrow walls to ca. 0.5x their diameter; apices rather sharply conjointly rounded in dorsal view, in lateral view outer margin with slight angulation.</p><p>Ventral characters: Mentum densely punctate, with median fovea. Submentum with two foveae. Legs testaceous, femora darker than tibiae.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs. 21, 22, 24) general characters: paramere tips slender and pointed, much narrower in lateral view than in dorsal/ventral views, in dorsal/ventral views with medial margins at apex parallel or nearly so, then arcuate away from midline; aedeagus slender in dorsal and ventral views; in lateral view slightly wider; lateral margins of aedeagus sclerotized; basal piece shorter than parameres, orifice strongly sclerotized.</p><p>Dorsal surface: pdmm proximal to paramere tips parallel or nearly so, overlapping margin of aedeagus; adbl large; adtl near distal end; each paramere with sclerotized ridge as illustrated (Figs. 10, 11).</p><p>Ventral surface: pvmm more widely separated than pdmm, approximating lateral margin of aedeagus.</p><p><b>Material examined (258):</b> <b>Belize</b>: Stann Creek, Kendal; ex side pool of Sittee River at bridge, 1.v.1987, leg.

The male genitalia illustration in Makhan (1992) is oversimplified, only in one view, misleading, and of little diagnostic value.
