Resum
Neoxyletobius is proposed as new genus for Xyletobius oculatus Sharp, 1881
(type species). This genus is only known from the Hawaiian Islands, also including Xyletobius
kirkaldyi Perkins, 1910 and possibly Xyletobius rodidus Perkins, 1910. It may be separated
from the genus Xyletobius Sharp, 1881 mainly by the morphology of antennae, last joint of
maxillary palpi, metasternum, genital segment (without apical projections) and aedeagus (parameres without lateral lobe, inner sac without distinct armature). The doubtful validity of the
genus Holcobius Sharp, 1881 in relation to Xyletobius Sharp, 1881, and its position within the
Xyletininae, are discussed.
