Adults can be kept in a similar setup to other Dynastids: moist substrate and fed beetle jelly or fruit.

Hello,
Xylorictes are really dificult to reproduce in captivity, I have tried for a few years and not been able to do it.

Orin, can give you a little bit more info as he said they have been reproduced in captivity before with recorded info.

good luck.
