Antennae about tAvothirds the length of costa: clubs bent before the middle and Avith tips pointed. 
Palpi with third joint moderate and porrect. ForeAving Avith costa nearly straight and termen shorter 
than dorsum: A'ein 5 nearer to vein 6 than to A'ein 4: A-ein 2 nearer to vein 4 than to base of Aving: 
male Avith a linear discal sexmark. HindAAung spotless. (Fig. AKa. AM).

This genus takes the place of BoisduAmFs Telesio, Avhicli name is preoecuiDied. We use it in a

genus less uuAvieldly: though it differs but little in structure, the species of Toxidia all have a facies 
easily distinguished: the antennae are less shar23ly 23ointed, and the clubs of antennae are gradually 
instead of abruptly bent. T. peroni is the only S 2 Jecies A\liose we knoA\’, and it differs from knoAvn
