	Morphologically, Taiwanese species form two groups: ''T. kurosawai'' + ''T. keris'' + ''T. maui'' have a broader body, relatively longer elytra, and head and pronotum with scale-like microsculpture. In contrast, ''T. thor'' is more elongated, has shorter elytra, and the head and pronotum are smooth among the punctures. All four species can be easily recognized by the male genitalia.

Trichophyinae is a small staphylinid subfamily with only 21 described species, all classified in a single genus ''Trichophya''. They can be easily recognized from other Taiwanese Staphylinidae by unusually thin antennae.

[[File:Trichophya_habitus.jpg|thumb|center|500px|Habitus of Taiwanese ''Trichophya'', showing the differences between ''T. thor'' and the remaining species.]]

Four species of the genus are known from Taiwan, all endemic for the island:
* ''T. keris'' Hu, Ho & Fikáček, 2026<sup>[[#ref1|[1]]]</sup>
* ''T. kurosawai'' Shibata, 2001<sup>[[#ref2|[2]]]</sup>
* ''T. maui'' Hu, Ho & Fikáček, 2026<sup>[[#ref1|[1]]]</sup>
* ''T. thor'' Hu, Ho & Fikáček, 2026<sup>[[#ref1|[1]]]</sup>

All four species have been collected in leaf litter of montane forests at elevations of 1300–2200 m, and seem to be Palaearctic elements of the Taiwanese fauna.

Morphologically, Taiwanese species form two groups: ''T. kurosawai'' + ''T. keris'' + ''T. maui'' have a broader body, relatively longer elytra, and head and pronotum with scale-like microsculpture. In contrast, ''T. thor'' is more elongated, has shorter elytra, and the head and pronotum are smooth among the punctures. All four species can be easily recognized by the male genitalia.
