Class: Insecta
Order: Strepsiptera
Suborder: Stylopidia
Family: Xenidae
Genus: Xenos
Rossi, 1793

Xenos is a genus of insects belonging to the family Xenidae.[1] The word derives from the Greek word for strange.[2] A species of the genus is Xenos vesparum, first described by Pietro Rossi in 1793.[3][4] The females are permanent entomophagous endoparasitesofPolistes paper wasps. They dwell their whole lives in the abdomensofwasps.

Four male pupae are visible partially emerged from the wasp's abdomen; likely Xenos peckii, which is a parasite of the paper wasp Polistes fuscatus.
