A Xystrocera globosa is a reddish-brown longhorn beetle measuring from 1.5 to 3.2 centimetres (0.59 to 1.3 in) long. It can be distinguished from other members of the genus Xystrocera by its ruddy antennae, the dark bands on its elytra (the hardened forewings), and narrow bands on its sides.

Xystrocera globosa is found in temperate and tropical Asia: it is known from Japan to Sri Lanka, including India, Pakistan, and the Korean peninsula; and from southeast Asia, from Thailand and Vietnam down through the Malay peninsula and Maritime Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, to New Guinea and northern Australia. It is equally known from Madagascar, Egypt, Puerto Rico, and Mauritius, and is found in both tropical Africa and the Nearctic. The species is introduced to the Caribbean. The beetles have also been reported from Hawaii, in Oahu. Maui and Honolulu; they were very likely introduced by humans. It is also introduced to Israel.
