These beetles are active in summer and live in ponds or ditches, feeding on other aquatic arthropods. They are nocturnal but sometimes active during the day. For mating, the males have expanded front feet to help them grab hold of a female.

There were formerly two subspecies that belonged to the species Cybister fimbriolatus:
Cybister fimbriolatus crotchi Wilke, 1920
Cybister fimbriolatus fimbriolatus (Say, 1825)
