Examined type material. Holotype male Sitcha/Holmberg/166 [?]/ Omalium segmentarium Mäkl. /Mus. Zool. H:fors/Spec. typ. 2127/Mus. Hels. N:o 1766/ Xylodromus segmentarius ( Mäklin 1852) det. A. Zanetti 2013/ Holotypus (red) (MZH).

This species described from “insula Sitkha” ( Alaska) was included in Eusphalerum (as Anthobium ) by Fauvel on the basis of the form of the elytral apex (“... ad angulum interiorem apice producta; verisimile ad differentiam sexualem spectat;” ( Mäklin, 1852). The examination of the type demonstrates that the species belongs to the genus Xylodromus Heer, 1839 ( Fig. 153) and that it is not a junior synonym either of Xylodromus concinnus ( Marsham, 1802) or of Xylodromus depressus ( Gravenhorst, 1802) , European species both also reported from North America. The validity of Xylodromus capito ( Casey, 1894) ( type from Wisconsin) requires examination of the type.
