Hydrophilus insularis (Laporte de Castelnau, 1840)
The largest aquatic beetle in the Caribbean, this species is reported from many of the islands including Puerto Rico and St. Croix ( Wolcott 1948b; Peck 2016). We present the first records of this species from St. Thomas. We found this species in all the water hazards at the Herman E. Moore Golf Course on the UVI campus.
