''Termitotrox cupido'' is a species of scarab beetle in the subfamily Termitotroginae. It was first described by Munetoshi Maruyama in 2012, having been discovered living inside a nest of the termite ''Hypotermes makhamensis'' in Cambodia. It is a tiny, blind and flightless insect. ==Description== ''Termitotrox cupido'' grows to a length of and at the time of its description was the smallest known scarab beetle. It is a blind, flightless beetle with semi-spherical elytra which are sculpted with deep longitudinal grooves. The elytra bear wing-shaped trichomes (outgrowths), a feature that distinguishes this species from other members of the genus. The head, thorax and elytra are reddish-brown with a matt surface and the trichomes are a paler colour. The specific name "cupido" comes from the resemblance of the trichomes to the wings of Cupid, the child god from Greek mythology.〔
