Remarks
There is no morphological difference between the lectotype of Xylographus anthracinus and the lectotype of Xylographus testaceitarsis. They are males of about the same size and with secondary sexual characteristic similarly developed. We have also dissected and compared sclerites of their abdominal terminalia and noted no difference.
