本论文研究的是神秘的澳大利亚食肉水甲虫属Carabhydrus Watts， 1978 (Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae, Hydroporini)，除了C. stephanieae Watts, Hancock & Leys, 2007)外，它分布在东海岸大分水岭和澳大利亚东南部和塔斯马尼亚山脉的森林溪流和河流中。该属中最大的种，Carabhydrus innae sp.n。来自维多利亚州南部和新南威尔士州，最小的是C. storeyi sp.n。产自昆士兰东北部，C. janmillerae sp.n。产于东南部和C. turaki sp.n。来自新南威尔士州东北部的被描述为新的。除C. mubboonus Larson & Storey（1994）、C. niger Watts（1978）和C. andreas Zwick（1981）外，其他物种很少被采集，主要来自其模式地点的少数标本。大多数种类的成虫可以在鹅卵石和石头下以及流水边的根中找到，只有在地下水中描述过。本文给出了已描述的十种甲壳纲动物的分类表，并对其分布和生境作了简要说明。
The present paper treats with the enigmatic Australian predaceous water beetle genus Carabhydrus Watts, 1978 (Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae, Hydroporini) which—except C. stephanieae Watts, Hancock & Leys, 2007—is distributed in forest streams and rivers along the Great Dividing Range of the East Coast and the mountain ranges of SE Australia and Tasmania. The largest species of the genus, Carabhydrus innae sp.n. from southern Victoria and New South Wales, and the smallest, C. storeyi sp.n. from north-eastern Queensland, C. janmillerae sp.n. from south-eastern and C. turaki sp.n. from north-eastern New South Wales are described as new. All species, except C. mubboonus Larson & Storey, 1994, C. niger Watts, 1978 and C. andreas Zwick, 1981, are very rarely collected and mainly known from a few specimens from their type localities. The adults of most species can be found under pebbles and stones and among roots at the edge of running waters, only C. stephanieae has been described from ground water. A key to the ten described species of Carabhydrus is presented, and their distribution and habitats are briefly illustrated.
