Xenolpium is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the Olpiidae family. Pseudoscorpions are tiny arachnids that look like scorpions but lack a tail. Xenolpium species live on various Indian Ocean islands and in Australasia. The genus was described in 1930 by American arachnologist Joseph Conrad Chamberlin and has also been named Antiolpium (Beier, 1962). Its type species is Olpium pacificum (With, 1907). Several Xenolpium species are known, but a complete list is not provided here.
