Oxytelus migrator is a species of rove beetle widely spread in Asia and Europe. [1] It is found in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. [2] [3] [4]
Generally a smaller beetle, where the male is about 2.8 mm and female is 2.6 mm in length. Body is brown to pitchy. Head and pronotum are darker brown. Elytral bases are black in color. Mandibles are slender and slightly curved. In male, head is sub-pentagonal. Clypeus flat, and slightly protruding. Epistomal suture with incurved lateral portions. Eyes are convex, with coarse facets. Mandible is slender and slightly curved. Pronotum transverse. Elytra punctate and rugose. Abdomen coriaceous and covered with dense fine hairs. In female, head is more triangular. Mandibles are larger and more robust than male. Spermatheca U-shaped and bent twice. [2]
The rove beetles are a family (Staphylinidae) of beetles, primarily distinguished by their short elytra that typically leave more than half of their abdominal segments exposed. With over 66,000 species in thousands of genera, the group is the largest family in the beetle order, and one of the largest families of organisms. It is an ancient group, with fossilized rove beetles known from the Triassic, 200 million years ago, and possibly even earlier if the genus Leehermania proves to be a member of this family. They are an ecologically and morphologically diverse group of beetles, and commonly encountered in terrestrial ecosystems.

Burmese amber is fossil resin dating to the early Late Cretaceous Cenomanian age recovered from deposits in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar. It is known for being one of the most diverse Cretaceous age amber paleobiotas, containing rich arthropod fossils, along with uncommon vertebrate fossils and even rare marine inclusions. A mostly complete list of all taxa described up until 2018 can be found in Ross 2018; its supplement Ross 2019b covers most of 2019.
