Description:
Rabaglia et al. 2006: This species is unique among Xyleborus north of Mexico. It is closely related to X. horridatus Wood, which occurs in Costa Rica to northern South America. Both species have a concave declivity with a series of denticles on interstriae 1.
Biology:
Wood, 2007: Unthrifty limbs 5-10 cm in diameter were attacked. The mature gallery system consisted of a mass of bifurcately branched and rebranched tunnels. The entire system was rather compact, with none of the short branches extending more than a few centimeters from the original entrance tunnel.
