Trichinorhipis is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, subfamily Buprestinae, and tribe Xenorhipidini.

[1] The single species, Trichinorhipis knulli, is endemic to California in the United States, where it has been collected from Riverside[2] and Imperial Counties.

[3] This beetle is black with large whitish marks across its elytra.

[2] Very few specimens of this beetle have been collected, but it has usually been associated with jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis).

[4] The beetle has been collected close to the Mexico–United States border, so it likely occurs in Mexico as well.
