Male head wider (Fig. 326a,b) and relatively narrower than in female (Fig. 321a,b); mandibles large, crossing when closed, each with 3 normal teeth (Fig. 326a); pronotum longer than in female, with lateral lobes apparently widely separated due to different colour of median area (Fig. 328).</p><p><b>Remarks</b>. <i>Tanyxiphium</i> belongs to the <i>Gonatocerus</i> group of genera, treated formally as Gonatocerini in Huber (2015a). <i>Tanyxiphium</i> is the only genus of Gonatocerini that shows secondary sexual differences in structure of the head and mouthparts. <i>Tanyxiphium</i> is most similar to <i>Gonatocerus</i> but differs by the mandibles being sexually dimorphic (not so in <i>Gonatocerus</i>), the vertex with 4 setae between the lateral ocelli (2 in <i>Gonatocerus</i>), and the pronotum entire, though appearing divided, with widely separated lateral lobes (medially divided, with lateral lobes abutting at least ventrally in <i>Gonatocerus</i>). It also is similar to <i>Lymaenon</i>, which sometimes has the vertex with 4 setae between lateral ocelli, pronotum with widely separated lateral lobes though in <i>Lymaenon</i> the pronotum really is divided whereas in <i>Tanyxiphium</i> it appears to be entire because its posterior margin does not have any breaks.</p><p><b>Neotropical hosts</b>.
