Biology:
Wood, 1982: This species has deep tunnels similar to those of ferrugineus and affinis thought the surface tunnels seen on wood in which bark has been peeled are never present. Rabaglia et al. 2006: Many authors thought that Xyleborinus saxesenii was a male of this species and many articles published before 1960 confused these two species. It is native to eastern North America, but has also been found in western Canada and the United States.
