Alexidia solitaria is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family. This species is found in south-eastern Brazil (Minas Gerais).

Adults reach a length of about 1.74 mm and have a dark wine-brown colour.

Adults have been collected from an undetermined young orange-white fungus/myxomycete on a decaying tree.

Etymology

The species epithet is a Latin word meaning ‘alone’, because the single known specimen was collected alone.[1]
