Abstract
A new genus and species, Xenosacalles gen.n. irlandikos sp.n., are described from Northern Ireland and are distinguished morphologically and molecularly
from other taxa of Cryptorhynchinae. The first description is accompanied by observations on the biology of the introduced species, which does not belong to any of the genera known to us from the Western Palaearctic. In addition to the mtCO1 barcode of the new species and numerous 2D focus stacking images, a printable 3D scan of a paratype completes the description. Finally, the collected observations on the bionomics of Xenosacalles irlandikos are presented.
