Xylobiops parilis
Xylobiops parilis is a species of wood-boring beetle in the family Bostrichidae, first described by Lesne in 1901. Members of the genus Xylobiops are known as false powderpost beetles, characterized by their association with dead or dying wood. The species has been recorded from North America, Middle America, and the Caribbean. Like other bostrichids, it likely develops in hardwood substrates and contributes to wood decomposition.
