Hydrophiloidea is a superfamily of beetles. Until recently it was only a single family, the water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae), but several of the subfamilies have been removed and raised to family rank.
The present list of recognized families is thus:
- Epimetopidae
- Georissidae (= Georyssidae)
- Helophoridae
- Hydrochidae
- Hydrophilidae
- Spercheidae (= Sphaeridiidae)
The Histeroidea seem to be very closely related[clarification needed] and may be part of an extended Hydrophiloidea clade; some researchers[who?] have proposed merging the two superfamilies into one.
