Xyleborini are a tribe of bark beetles, highly specialized weevils of the subfamily Xyleborini. Much of the ambrosia beetle fauna in Eurasia and the Americas consists of Xyleborini species. Some Xyleborini are notorious invasive species.

Most genera are either small or even monotypic, or contain some 2-8 dozen species. The type genus "Xyleborus" however contains over 500 species.MSU (2004)]
