Description
The members of the parainsularis group are characterized by similarities of the male genitalia, female genitalia, and pronotal structure.

The result of these diversities is a superficially different appearance of the two species. Xystosomus parainsularis is similar in appearance to Tachymenis insularis (Darlington) while X. bisulcifrons is similar to a mix of gruti, inflatus, and microtretus group members. However, the male genitalia of the two species in the parainsularis group are very similar and would
