Trichopsenius
Trichopsenius is a genus of termitophilous rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) first described by Horn in 1877. All known species are obligate symbionts of termites in the genus Reticulitermes (Rhinotermitidae). The genus was recently recorded from China for the first time with the description of Trichopsenius huaxiensis from Guizhou Province. These beetles exhibit specialized behavioral adaptations for integration into termite colonies.
