Trichonychina
Trichonychina is a subtribe of minute rove beetles within the subfamily Pselaphinae, family Staphylinidae. Members of this subtribe are characterized by their small body size and are part of the diverse Euplectitae supertribe. The subtribe was established by Reitter in 1882 and contains multiple genera of these cryptic beetles. Pselaphinae beetles are generally associated with leaf litter and soil habitats, though specific ecological data for Trichonychina as a whole is limited.
