Bryaxis uljinensis is a species of ant-loving beetle in the family Staphylinidae.[1]
This beetle was first described in 2023 by Yeon-Jae Choi, Sun-Jae Park, Seung-Gyu Lee, and Jong-Seok Park.[1][2]
The male holotype was collected from leaf litter near a stream in Uljin-gun, South Korea (whence the species epithet, uljinensis).[2] In South Korea this beetle has been found in Gangwon Province and in Gyeongbuk Province, when sifting leaf and soil litter and an ant colony.[2]
