Toxodera Audinet-Serville 1869

Authors/Creators

Description

Toxodera Audinet-Serville, 1869

= Eutoxodera Werner, 1930

Highly specialized stick mimics. There are four confirmed species in Borneo restricted to old-growth forests; all are rarely found. The SE Asian Toxoderini, recently revised by Roy (2009b), are understorey dwellers, other aspects of their ecology are, however, completely unknown. Males may be attracted to lights.

Toxodera maculata Ouwens, 1913

= Toxodera vana Yang, 1997

Distribution. S China, Laos, Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo (Roy 2009b).

Toxodera fimbriata Werner, 1930

= Toxodera spinigera Beier, 1931

Distribution. Myanmar, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo (Roy 2009b). Bornean records. Sabah: Kinabalu (Beier 1931).

Toxodera maxima Roy, 2009

Distribution. Malay Peninsula, Borneo (Roy 2009b).

Bornean records. Sabah: Danum Valley (CSUB, living specimen depicted in Roy 2009b, page 105) Remarks. Females up to 168 mm long. This species was previously confused with Toxodera denticulata Audinet-Serville, 1837. A damaged specimen found in the SMSM collection deposited under this name may belong to T. maxima. Definite records of T. denticulata from Borneo are lacking.

Toxodera hauseri Roy, 2009

Distribution. Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Java, Borneo (Roy 2009b). Remarks. Roy (2009b) does not mention any Bornean specimen, but there is a photographic record of this species from Poring Hot Springs (Anker, pers. com.).
