Xanthomelanodes is a genus of parasitoid flies in the family Tachinidae,comprising 13 described species.[4] Like all members of the subfamily Phasiinae, the larvae are endoparasitoids of true bugs (Heteroptera), developing inside their hosts and ultimately killing them.[5]

The tribe Gymnosomatini, to which Xanthomelanodes belongs, comprises flies specialised as parasitoids of true bugs in the order Hemiptera, particularly Heteroptera.[6]

The genus name Xanthomelana Wulp, 1892, listed as a synonym, was the original name under which the type species was described; Xanthomelanodes was erected by Townsend in 1892 as a replacement name, as Xanthomelana had already been used elsewhere.[7]
