title = "Two new termitophiles of the tribe Termitohospitini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) associated with Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)",
abstract = "The termitophilous tribe Termitohospitini was discovered in Japan. Sinophilus yukoae sp.nov. and Japanophilus hojoi gen.novo., sp.nov. are described from specimens collected in Nansei-shot{\^o}. The genus Sinophilus is redefined. These species are the first-discovered inquilines of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in Japan. This suggests that C. formosanus is native to Japan rather than an introduced species, as previously believed.",
