Notes.

First found in Massachusetts in 2005 and 2006 ( Hoebeke and Rabaglia 2008), X. seriatus is distinguished from other Xyleborus by the distinctly impressed area adjacent to the scutellum and the alternating series of longer and shorter setae on the elytra ( Hoebeke and Rabaglia 2008). Both X. orientalis kalopanacis Kurenzov and X. orientalis aceris Kurenzov were listed as synonyms of X. orientalis by Wood and Bright (1992). Mandelshtam (2007) synonymised X. orientalis with X. seriatus , without mentioning Kurenzov’s subspecies.
