Key to the species of
Xenopygus
1. Antenna with microsetae on antennomeres IV to XI; antennomere IV longer than wide, pronotum with setal punctuations evenly distributed, not on the median longitudinal line (Fig. 11–13); sternite VII of male without porous structure......... 2

Antenna with microsetae on antennomeres V to XI (
Fig. 14
); antennomere IV as long as wide (
