Taxonomy Comments
Wood & Bright (1992: 786) and Wood (2007:462) cite the types of both Xyleborus splendidus Schaufuss and X. camopinus Hagedorn as having been lost in the Hamburg Museum. Neither work specifically addresses the lectotype of X. splendidus Schaufuss designated by (Anderson & Anderson 1971:31). Wood (2007) obliquely refers to this specimen as 'the Eggers homotype', implying that it was not part of a series of syntypes described by Schaufuss. If this is the case the specimen in the USNM should be designated as a neotype for the reasons given by Anderson & Anderson (1971). Wood & Bright (1992) and Wood (2007) suggest that Xyleborus ruber Schaufuss is a synonym.
