The genus Termitozophilus Silvestri (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Corotocini) is composed of three species that are associated with termite nests of the genus Cornitermes Wasmann in South America. Although this termite genus is widespread in the Amazon region, the species of the rove beetle genus Termitozophilus associated with it are less known. In this paper, we describe four new species of Termitozophilus species from the Brazilian Oriental Amazon. Furthermore, we provide information on natural history, post-imaginal growth, behavior, and a taxonomic key to all valid species.
Termitozophilus属（鞘翅目：隐翅虫科：蚁甲亚科：Corotocini族）由三个物种组成，它们与南美洲Cornitermes属Wasmann白蚁的巢穴有关。尽管这个白蚁属在亚马逊地区广泛分布，但与之相关的隐翅虫属Termitozophilus物种却鲜为人知。在本文中，我们描述了来自巴西东部亚马逊地区的四个Termitozophilus属新物种。此外，我们还提供了有关自然历史、成虫后生长、行为的信息，以及所有有效物种的分类检索表。
