Toxidium ultimum is a species of beetle in the family Staphylinidae. This species is found in south-eastern Brazil (Minas Gerais).

Etymology

The species epithet is a Latin word meaning ‘the last one’, referring both to it being the last species described in the author's manuscript and the final specimen collected and dissected for the author's project.
