3352 SUPPLEMENT. 
1. Bothynodontes gibbipennis, sp. n. (Tab. XV. figg. 17, 17 a.) 
Obovate, ferruginous, shining; variegated with a dense clothing of pale brown and whitish scales, the elytra 
with a spot on the third interstice before the middle and an irregular oblique median fascia black, the 
latter followed by an oblique indeterminate whitish band ; the upper surface also set with scattered, erect, 
stout, clubbed sete, these becoming black and clustered into a small tuft. on the tumid portion of the third 
elytral interstice. Rostrum feebly curved, parallel-sided as seen from above, longer than the head and 
separated from it by a transverse groove, the scrobes long, deep, and sinuously descending, the head 
finely canaliculate between the eyes, the latter separated by much less than the width of the rostrum ; 
antennz long, slender, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club long and abruptly 
acuminate. Prothorax nearly as long as broad, obliquely narrowed in front and behind, truncate at the 
base; uneven, densely, finely punctate, and obsoletely canaliculate. Scutellum not visible. Elytra 
short, ovate, transversely gibbous ; 9-striate, the strie coarsely punctured, the interstices convex, the 
third tumid at about one-fourth from the base. Anterior femora very strongly clavate and also angulato- 
dilatate, the intermediate and posterior pairs stout. Anterior tibie curved, unguiculate. Third tarsal 
joint broadly bilobed, the claws free. 
Length 34, breadth (of elytra) 12 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.).—Cotomsia (Mus. Brit.). 
Separable at once from DB. squalidus by the more inflated, maculate elytra and the 
distinctly curved rostrum. ‘The setigerous prominence on the third elytral interstice is 
also characteristic.

1. Elissa laticeps. (Tab. XV. figg. 18, 18 a.) 
Elissa laticeps, Casey, loc. cit. p. 2727; Pierce, loc. cit. p. 359”. 
Hab. Nortu America, Texas! ?, Arizona ?.—Mzexico, Monclova in Coahuila (Schwarz, 
in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
The two specimens before me from Coahuila are larger than a cotype of &. laticeps 
from Arizona sent to Dr. Sharp by Capt. Casey, and have the prothorax a little more 
constricted before the middle, one of them, too, has longer erect scales than the other. 
E. constricta seems to be a form of the same species, both occurring in Arizona. In 
this genus the vibriss are strongly developed, but the ocular lobes are wanting.
