Taxonomy
The genus Xizangia was established by Zhang in 1988 for Xizangia cryptonychus. The generic name Xizangia, however, is a junior homonym of Xizangia (Loftusiida: Orbitolinidae), described by Zhang in 1982. The new replacement name Sinolucanus was established in 2025. When originally described, the genus was placed in the family Trogidae. It was later identified as a member of Lucanidae and synonymized with Penichorlucanus, until it was revalidated.
