Belongs within: Pselaphinae.
Reichenbachia is a large cosmopolitan genus of pselaphine beetles, including over 300 species. The median antebasal fovea on the pronotum lacks setae and is smaller than the two lateral foveae (Newton et al. 2001).
Characters (Park 1942): Ventral surface of head with median longitudinal carina or carinoid swelling; antennae eleven-segmented; maxillary palpi four-segmented; epistomal region generally simple, sometimes slightly expanded laterally or vertically elevated; pronotum with disc simple, evenly convex, three subbasal foveae present with lateral foveae much larger than median fovea; each elytron with distinct dorsal or discal stria and two or three basal foveae; middle coxae contiguous; posterior coxae well separated; abdomen with distinct lateral margin.
