I've never seen alive Toxopoda (nor even Andrey Ozerov seen it).
2 news
1. Toxopoda acts as Micropezidae, not as Sepsidae (doesn't move wings, but moves forelegs)
2. Alive Toxopoda has stripped eyes

It isn't sp.nov. as I hoped:
Toxopoda simplex Iwasa, 1986

Sorry, Nikita. It's my mistake. This species is Toxopoda mordax Iwasa, Zuska et Ozerov, not T.simplex.
