Notes.

This species is widely distributed. Wood and Bright (1992) and most authors list this species as X. saxeseni , but Holzschuh (1994) points out that Ratzeburg’s original description was saxesenii , with the ii ending. The synonymy stated by Wood (1989) between X. cinctipennis Schedl, 1980 with X. saxesenii , supported by Brockerhoff et al. (2003), Knížek (2011) and Alonso-Zarazaga et al. (2017), may be in error (Beaver pers. comm.).
