Abstract

Previously, only three species of the genus Xenylla were known from the Republic of Moldova: Xenylla boerneri (Axelson, 1905), Xenylla brevicauda Tullberg, 1869, Xenylla brevisimilis brevisimilis Stach, 1949 (Buşmachiu 2000, 2006), although 123 edaphic or corticolous species are known in the genus worldwide.
