Type species.
Xyleborus morigerus
Blandford, 1894a; monotypy.
Diagnosis.
Xylosandrus
species are small to moderately sized, 1.3-3.9 mm, and stout 1.79-2.6
x
as long as wide.
Xylosandrus
is distinguished by the procoxae widely separated (narrowly separated in
X. formosae
); pronotum with a median mycangial tuft (absent in
X. formosae
); antennal club type 1, obliquely truncate with segment 1 covering the posterior face (flat and type 4 in
X. spinifer
); eyes moderately to deeply emarginate; scutellum visible, flat, flush with elytra; lateral margin of the pronotum obliquely costate; protibiae distinctly triangular or slender with fewer than six large socketed denticles; and declivity with zero, five or six striae.

Xylosandrus
is closely related to
Anisandrus
,
Cnestus
, and
Hadrodemius
, all of which possess a mesonotal mycangium and the associated dense tuft of hair-like setae at the scutellar area and pronotal base (
Gohli et al. 2017
; Johnson et al. 2018).
Distribution.
Globally distributed throughout temperate and tropical forests.
Gallery system.
The species typically breed in small diameter stems. The gallery system consists of a radial gallery leading to an irregular chamber in the center of the stem with longitudinal branches extending up and down the stem.
Remarks.
Xylosandrus
was recently revised by
Dole and Cognato (2010)
but two additional species have since been described (
Gomez et al. 2020
;
Park et al. 2020
) and one species,
X. ramulorum
(Schedl, 1957), was transferred from
Amasa
(
Sittichaya et al. 2019
). Preliminary phylogenies suggest that
Anisandrus maiche
is monophyletic with
Xylosandrus
(
Cognato et al. 2020b
).
