Abstract This paper deals with 52 species, belonging to 9 genera of Colymbetinae from India. It contains descriptions of seven new species and redescriptions of several species based on the study of type specimens in Museum National Histoire Naturelle, Paris ; British Museum (Natural History), London; Museo Cavico di Storia Naturale, Genoa and the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta. Study of the genitalic characters has revealed the following new synonymies : Copelatus crytarchoides Regimbart (=Copelatus nilgiricus Balfour-Browne) Agabus (Dichonectes) nitidus Fabricius (=Agabus indicas Regimbart) Agabus (Gaurodytes) debilipes Regimbart (=Agabus skarduensis Guignot) Agabus (Anagabus) vateiloides Regimbart [=Agabus (Anagabus) jucundus Guignot] On the basis of study of male genitalia and metacoxal lines, a new subgenus has been proposed within the genus Lacconectus. Similarly the genus Platynectus has been divided into three subgenera by the addition of two new subgenera. Lectotypes have been selected wherever necessary. Type localities of certain species have been clarified. Keys to genera and species are provided and male genitalia figured.
