Kenocoelus
''Kenocoelus'' is a genus of rove beetles (the family Staphylinidae) containing a number of species, all endemic to New Zealand. It is part of the Trichonychini tribe, in the Pselaphinae subfamily of Staphylinidae. Description These are small beetles (body size 1.46–1.76mm) with short antennae and small, ovoid eyes. They can be distinguished from similar genera of Trichonychini from their small size, short first antennal segment and pronotum without Sulcus (morphology), sulci. Ant associations Some species of ''Kenocoelus'' have been repeatedly collected within ''Huberia (ant), Huberia'' ant nests suggesting that the beetles are inquilines although interactions between the species have not been directly observed.
