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

Adults have been collected from Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa on a fallen Pinus tree.

Etymology

The species epithet is a Latin word meaning ‘feast’, ‘banquet’, because of the great feast they were having, all the time specimens were collected among other Alexidia and many Baeocera species.[1]
