Osten-Sacken (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vol. iv. p. 225) tabulates 
the genera of Limnobiina as follows ; — 
I. A single marginal cell, 
1. Limnobi^formia. Antennae 14-jointed. (Genera ; Geranomyia, 
Phipidia, Picranomyia, Discobola, Zimnobia,) 
2. Anomala. Antennae 16-jointed (or sometimes hy coalescence of 
basal joints of flagellum 16- or 12-jointed, when the proboscis 
is enormously prolonged), 
a. Phamphidiceformia. (Genera : Phamphidia, Elephantomyia, 
Toxorhina.) 
b. Cylindrotomceformia, (Genera : Cylindrotoma, Triogma, Phala- 
crccera.) 
c. Anomala vera. (Genera : Dicranoptycha, Antocha, Teucholabis, 
Plectromyia (g. n.), Elliptera.') 
II. Two marginal cells. 
* No spurs at the tip of the tibiae.

Toxorhina, Osten-Sacken {I, c. pp. 227-232) characterizes this genus, 
which he confines to the recent species, indicating that the existing T. fra- 
gilis (Loew) and those found in amber and referred to this genus by Looav
