Myrmecocephalus

***Myrmecocephalus*** er en slekt av biller som hører til den store underfamilien småkortvinger (Aleocharinae) i familien kortvinger (Staphylinidae). Det er beskrevet 10 arter, to av dem er funnet i Norge.

## Utseende
Små, langbeinte, blankt svarte eller brunlige kortvinger. Antennene er nokså lange. Hodet er stort og firkantet med små fasettøyne, bak sterkt innsnevret slik at dyret får en påfallende tydelig "hals". Pronotum er rundet, bredest foran midten, knapt bredere enn hodet og mye smalere enn dekkvingene, som er rundede. Bakkanten er ganske rett. Bakkroppen er rundet. Beina er lange og tynne.

## Levevis
Disse kortvingene finnes gjerne mellom råtnende plantemateriale, i kompost, også i gammel møkk.

## Utbredelse
Slekten er utbredt i Holarktis og i Australia.
