Xyleborus impressus
Xyleborus impressus is a species of ambrosia beetle in the family Curculionidae, first described by Eichhoff in 1868. As a member of the genus Xyleborus, it exhibits the characteristic fungus-farming behavior of ambrosia beetles, cultivating symbiotic fungi within wood galleries. The species has been documented in both North and South America. Like other ambrosia beetles, it is a wood-boring insect that lives most of its life concealed within host trees.
