Nearly 30 species occur in the Palaearctic Region, 10 are known from the Nearctic Region, and 6 from the Oriental Region.They occur in various habitats, often found under plant litter and under tree bark where they feed on small arthropods.[1][2][3][4] Certain species (X. afer, X. cerealis, X. cursitans, X. flavipes, X. galactinus, X. hyalinipennis, X. queenslandicus, X. sordidus, X. vicarius) inhabit stored food facilities.[5]
