Ecology. –
Unknown. Probably a freshwater swamp forest species like
H. reductus
.
Remarks. –
Hydaticus concolor
and other species such as
Hydaticus sexguttatus
Sharp, 1882
and
H. reductus
Régimbart, 1899
form an assemblage of small, comparably dark species that remain to be revised. Our specimens were compared with identified beetles in CGW and MNHN.
Hydaticus concolor
is recorded from
Vietnam
,
Indonesia
(
Vazirani, 1977
;
Wewalka, 1979
). If the determination is correct it will be the first record for the Malaysian Peninsula and
Singapore
.
