Genus Toxophora Meigen

Remarks.

Toxophora is distributed worldwide, being more diverse in the Afrotropical and Palearctic regions. Mexico's fauna includes three Neotropical species and five Nearctic species. All Nearctic species of Mexico were distributed in the western half of the country. These two new records represent the first of this genus in Coahuila and the most eastern distribution of the Nearctic species in the country. The New World species of this genus were keyed using Cunha et al. (2011).
