Xylosandrus cubensis Bright ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) ( Fig. 10 )

Diagnosis: Distinguished from other Xylosandrus by the more slen- der body, slightly notched elytral apex, and serrated postero-lateral margin of the declivity. Adult females are 1.9 to 2.9 mm.

Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Camagüay Province).

Hosts: unknown.

Notes: Details on ecology are unknown, type specimen collected from lights. The generic placement of this species should be revised because many characters on this species, such as the elevated and ser- rate posterolateral margin of the elytra, are not seen in the rest of Xylosandrus ( Bright 2019) .
