The systematic position of Emmidolium Orchymont, 1937 within the Megasternini, its similarity to the Neotropical species Oosternum sculptum Bruch, 1915, and its atypical distribution are discussed.
Key words: Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Sphaeridiinae, Megasternini, Emmidolium, Oosternum, morphology, taxonomy, Afrotropical and Oriental region, distribution, introduced species.
