Morphological Features
Adult male and female Xyleborus ferrugineus differ in the length/width ratio of both the pronotum and elytron, and in the pronotum-length/elytron-length ratio. There is significantly greater variability in pronotal length and width in the male than in the female. Sexual differences also occur in setal patterns and setal size variabilities on the dorsal pronotum and the terminus of the antennae.
