The thirteen species of Xyloryctes distributed from southeastern Canadá to Panamá, are reviewed and figured, including the revalidation ofX. faunus and the description ofX. orientalis n. sp. Following the phylogenetic analysis based on 52 morphological characters of 13 species, the phylogenetic hypothesis confirming Xyloryctes as a monophyletic group is proposed, but relationships with other genera of Oryctini remains unresolved. All the known species are redescribed, their distribution in Mexico is updated and a key to the species is included. Figures of the mesocoxal stridulatory structures are included.
