syntypes
of this species deposited in IRSNB. However, Eichhoff’s description includes only a single measurement suggesting the existence of only one type specimen. The
holotype
is housed in UHZM which sent photographs of the specimen. These were compared to images and
paratypes
of
X. pinicola
, the
holotype
of
X. detectus
(NHMW) and specimens in RAB that were compared to the
holotype
of
X. pinivorus
(NHML) and which had previously been synonymized with
X. pinicola
(

)
. All are conspecific and represent a single species.
