Diagnosis
Eye divided. Mycangia present on females.
Female
Female: Frons typically convex. Eye completely divided. Antennae with five funicle segments. Pronotum in dorsal view broadly rounded anteriorly, mostly with marginal asperities. Lateral margins of pronotum rounded. Vestiture typically with only hair-like setae. All tarsal segments cylindrical. Tibiae flattened with socketed denticles extending over at least apical quarter. A fungus-carrying organ (mycangium) visible as a setose opening on the latero-ventral side of the prothorax on the hypomeron.
Male
Similar to female in most characters, but pronotum in dorsal view quadrate and in
Trypodendron
, frons typically concave. Penis apodemes of a similar length or longer than penis body, separated at apex. Tegmen with a median apodeme or no apodemes, open dorsally. Spiculum gastrale reduced, much thinner than the thickness of penis apodemes. Basal sclerites complex and developed. Males of
Xyloterinus politus
are reportedly flightless and do not leave the natal gallery.
Distribution
Holarctic and Southeast Asia.
Remarks
All thorough molecular studies to date have indicated a strongly supported nested position among several former
Cryphalini
genera, sister to
Coriacephilus
or
Cryphalus
. We note that
Indocryphalus
may be paraphyletic based on the two taxa included in some molecular studies and with morphology (
Cognato et al. 2015
).
