  Science Fair Projects - Burrowing water beetle
The burrowing water beetles are a family (Noteridae C. Thomson 1857) of water beetles closely related to the Dytiscidae, and formerly classified with them.
They are mainly distinguished by the presence of a distinctive "noterid platform" underneath, in the form of a plate between the second and third pair of legs.
They have a habit of burrowing through pond and marsh substrate, thus the common name, and are primarily carnivorous, with some scavenging observed.

A prosternal process abuts on the metasternum and together with the coxal plates forms a broad and tapering median keel.
Noteridae (suborder Adephaga) are primarily a tropical group, with four genera (five species) occurring mainly in northern regions of Australia.
Noteridae usually inhabit the margins of shallow ponds or slowly running water where adults and larvae are found among the roots of floating or emergent plants.

 Research Training Progam
The beetle order Coleoptera has many aquatic representatives, and the Noteridae is a particular family of aquatic beetles that has received limited study.
Primary among these findings is that the entire family Noteridae needs to be restructured in terms of how different genera are grouped into tribes.
This lack of appropriate organization is due largely to small early sample sizes and incorrect observations that have been passed on in the literature without confirmation.

 Coleopterological Review
Aquatic beetles in the families Noteridae and Dytiscidae have been collected by the first author from waters in the southern part of the Comoé National Park (Ivory Coast, West Africa).
Data on the faunistics of Noteridae and Dytiscidae of the Ivory Coast are given by BILARDO & PEDERZANI (1978), FORGE (1979), FRANCISCOLO (1974) and GUIGNOT (1943) and are distributed in systematic or taxonomic publications (BILARDO & PEDERZANI 1979; BISTRÖM 1979; 1982; 1983; 1985; 1986; 1987; 1988a, b, c; 1996; GUIGNOT 1959a, b; 1961b).
An unpublished literature study of Noteridae and Dytiscidae by the first author for the Ivory Coast revealed a total of 162 species.

 Chemical Secretions of the Suborder Adephaga (Coleoptera)
The Hydradephaga is comprised of the Dytiscidae, Noteridae, Gyrinidae, Amphizoidae, Hygrobiidae and Haliplidae, all of which are aquatic.
Benzoic acids and derivatives are present in Noteridae and Haliplidae (Dettner 1985).
3-indoleacetic acid and phenyl acetic acid, which have been isolated from members of Noteridae and some Hydroporinae (Dytiscidae), are gall-producing plant auxins present in other insects who use it during endophytic oviposition (Dettner 1985).

The antennae are clubbed and are comprised of 7 to 9 segments.
The Noteridae is a family of small beetles (less than 6 mm.) which closely resemble the Dytiscidae.
All species have the scutellum hidden by the bases of the elytra and the front tibiae modified, often bearing a strong hook or curved spine at the apex.
