Black with color pattern of red and yellow as follows: orbits, 

 mouth parts, two lines on face, lines in positions of notauli dilated

 at anterior edge of mesopleurum, one above base of middle coxa, 

 one below hind wing, margin of scutellum, postscutellum, spot at 

 top of propodeum, and apical and lateral margins of first five 

 tergites yellow; metapleura rufous; wings hyaline, veins and 

 stigma dark brown; coxae black at base, white at apex, the pos- 

 terior pair practically all black; front trochanters, tibiae and 

 tarsi white, their femora pale testaceous; middle femora pale 

 testaceous; their tibiae and tarsi stramineous, apical joint of their 

 trochanters black; hind trochanters black, their femora dark 

 testaceous, fuscous at apex, tibia rufofuscous, white at base and

Genus TOXOPHOROIDES Cresson.

In both color and sculpture this genus stands at the opposite 

 end of the tribe from Lycorina. From that genus and from 

 CKlorolycorina it differs in the sloping posterior face of the propo- 

 deum separated from the dorsal face by difference in sculpture 

 rather than by an obsolete carina. In most of the species the color 

 is the reverse from that of Chlorolycorina , the ground color being 

 yellow with dark markings. In an undescribed species represented 

 only by two males in the United States National Museum collection, 

 however, the black is more extensive than the yellow, but the 

 entire lack of the red color of the pleura appears to be a constant 

 generic character.
