Figures 1-5 from: Jordal BH (2024) Integrated taxonomy, biology and biogeography of the Afrotropical genus Xyloctonus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae). Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift 71(1): 67-84. https://doi.org/10.3897/dez.71.116185

Figures 1-5 Posterior view of elytral declivity in 1.Xyloctonus quadridens; 2.X. maculatus; 3.X. subcostatus (paratype of X. striatus); 4.X. pubifer; 5.X. scolytoides (paralectotype of X. latus). Black arrows points at the shallow furrow on the posterior side of the metatibiae, similar to mesotibiae. White arrow points to the impression of the metaventrite which receives the metafemur. Yellow arrows point at elytral interstriae 9, which in Figs 1–4 runs to the elytral sutures and blocks interstriae 1–8 from reaching elytral apex; in X. scolytoides (Fig. 5) all interstriae reach the posterior margin of the elytra.
