Remarks. This species resembles the species of the Xiphydria palaeanarctica group (Shinohara 2019b), but differs from them by the simple tarsal claws, the entirely black head capsule, the impunctate patch on the mesoscutal lateral lobe usually smooth and shiny, the black legs with mostly pale brown tibiae and tarsi in both sexes, and the half whitish antennae, the black abdomen with creamy-white lateral spots on the terga 6–8 and the short valvula 3 (length about 0.8–0.9× valvifer 2) in the female.
