Dryocoetoides inaffectatus
Wood, 2007: This species is xylomycetophagous and inbreeds polygynous. They breed mostly in unthrifty, injured, or cut stems larger than 3 cm and apparently smaller than 10 cm in diameter.

Rabaglia et al. 2006: This species was considered a synonym of X. ferrugineus (Fabricius) by Schedl (1960), and is treated as such by Wood and Bright (1992). Rabaglia (2005) considered it a valid species. It is easily distinguished from X. ferrugineus by the impressed sutural interstriae, the smaller tubercles on interstriae three and the lack of denticles on interstriae 1.

Rabaglia et al. 2006: Until recently this species was only known from a single collection in Dade County, FL (Atkinson and Peck 1994). In 2003, specimens were collected in ethanol baited funnel traps in several locations in Dade County (Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services, unpublished report no. 2003-07-EBBS-01). Atkinson et al. (1991) considered this species native to South Florida based on its continuous distribution in South and Central America. Wood, 2007: Boring in large limbs and stumps. Insufficient information is available to distinguish the habits and behavior of this genus from Dryocoetoides and Xyleborus.

Rabaglia et al. 2006: This species, along with X. planicollis, is unique among North American xyleborines. The anterior of the female pronotum is impressed as in males of other species. This character, along with the rarity of the species, has led to confusion and mis-identification.
