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.
Trichopsenius depressus
Trichopsenius depressus is a species of rove beetle (family Staphylinidae) in the tribe Trichopseniini, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1863. The species epithet "depressus" refers to its flattened body form. It belongs to a group of beetles known to be associated with termites, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented in published literature. The species is recorded from the southeastern United States.
