Corotoca is a genus of termitophilous beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Aleocharinae, described by the Danish entomologist Jørgen Matthias Christian Schiødte in 1853, and includes six species[1] from the Neotropical region, associated with termites of the genus Constrictotermes. The genus was the first record of insects associated with termites.[2] [3]
