Cretotrichopsenius burmiticus has been described from 99 million year old Burmese amber and shows termitophilous adaptations.
[3] Some like Trichopsenius frosti and Xenistusa hexagonalis are known to follow the trail pheromones of their termite host Reticulitermes virginicus.
[6] The abdomen may also show enlargement of physogastry and in a few species there are protruding appendages that mimic the body structure of a termite.
[7] Similar adaptations are seen in the South American Thyreoxenus alakazam and the African Coatonachthodes ovambolandicus.
[11] Termite nest specific fungi include the Basidiobolus, Antennopsis, and some species of Xylaria.
