Globulosis is a Neotropical genus of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae represented by two described species known from the Guiana Shield Region. [1]
The genus Globulosis was described for the first time by Mauricio García in 2001. [2]
It belongs in the subfamily Acidocerinae and contains two described species from Brazil ( Amazonas, Pará), Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. [1] [3]
Small beetles (1.9–2.3 mm), broadly oval in dorsal view and strongly convex in lateral view, yellow to orange-brown in coloration, with long maxillary palps. A complete diagnosis was presented by Girón and Short. [1]
According to Girón and Short "The genus is most commonly found along the margins of small, sandy forested streams, especially with vegetated margins. However, a few specimens have been taken in shallow swamps." [1]
