Hydrobiomorpha

***Hydrobiomorpha*** er en slekt av biller som hører til familien vannkjær (Hydrophilidae).

## Utseende
Middelsstore til nokså store (gjerne 13-17 millimeter), avlangt ovale, blankt svarte vannkjær. Artene kan overflatisk ligne på vannkalver (Dytiscidae) men kan kjennes på at antennene er korte og klubbeformede, palpene lange (lengre enn antennene) og at beina mangler hårfrynser som kan brukes som årer.

## Levevis
Artene lever i vegetasjonsrike ferskvann.

## Utbredelse
De nålevende artene lever i tropiske og subtropiske områder, men slekten er også kjent fra en del fra fossiler fra tertiær (eocen-miocen) fra Tyskland. Det finnes én art USA  og flere i det sørlige Afrika.
