Sinaspidytes is a genus of aquatic beetles in Aspidytidae, first recorded in 2003 from specimens in the Shaanxi province, China. It is monotypic, with the only species being Sinaspidytes wrasei.[1][2] Originally this species was placed in the genus Aspidytes with a second species from South Africa, but was later transferred to Sinaspidytes.[3] The genus contains the single species S. wrasei.[3][4] The aquatic beetle is 4.8 - 5.2 mm long and lives in hygropetric habitats.[5]
