Abstract
Oocyclus Sharp is a moderately large genus of water scavenger beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) with 50 valid species described from the Oriental and Neotropical Regions. Most occur in waterfalls and other hygropetric environments (Short & Fikáček 2011, Short & Jia 2011). Currently, six species have been reported from China (Hebauer & Wang 1998, Short & Jia 2011) of which O. bhutanicus Sâto was doubtful (Short & Swanson 2005).
