Toxorhina magna is a species of limoniid crane fly in the family Limoniidae.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This species can be found on the East Coast of the United States as far west as Michigan and as far south as Florida. Its yellowish brown color is the most obvious difference from the grayish Toxorhina muliebris which can also be found in the northern parts of T. magna's territory.[7]
