Toxonotus bidens (Olivier) new combination 
Macrocephalus bidens Olivier, 1795, Entomologie, vol. 4, 
genus no. 80, p. 14, PI. 2, fig. 18a, b. Type locality: Saint 
Domingue. 
Identical with T. fascicidaris (Schon.) with the excep- 
tion of the color and vestiture. Integument varying from 
dark red to a startlingly clear, pale red, the latter especial- 
ly on the appendages. Pubescence long and coarse, ap- 
pearing shaggy and unkempt beside the trim-looking T. 
fascicidaris ; on prothorax unicolored brown, with no dense 
apical patches; instead with two arcuate lines of coarse 
white bristles which originate just laterad of each of the 
two small apical tufts, and run posteriad for a short dis- 
tance before curving laterally and ending midway between 
the lateral discal tufts and the pronotal apex; on elytra 
pale brown to almost gray, not conspicuously striped, apical 
declivity with coarse, dirty white bristles, slightly denser 
than elsewhere, but not short as in fascicidaris, and not 
sharply demarcated; on metasternum dirty yellow. Anten- 
nae unicolored gray, the last three segments not contrast- 
ing sharply with the remainder. 
Three specimens known to me; a pair in the Museum of 
Comparative Zoology, the male labeled, “Ennery, Haiti, nr. 
1000 ft., Sept. 6-11, 1934, (Darlington)”, the female simp- 
ly, “S. Dom.”, and the third, of undetermined sex, in the 
American Museum of Natural History labeled, “San Lcren- 
zo [sic], R. Dom. vi-27-29-15”. The M.C.Z. female is con- 
siderably paler than the other two specimens. Its clear 
red, hairy legs leave an indelible impression.
