716 SUPPLEMENT. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Carrillo (Underwood). 
One specimen. A close ally of H. belti and H. compressicollis*, differing from 
both in its narrow, subcylindical form, the cylindrical prothorax, the more arcuate 
rostrum, the less transverse eyes, &c. . 
Hilipus stictopterus (pp. 16, 17). 
To the locality given, add:—Costa Rica, Pozo Azul (Underwood). 
This species was figured under the name JZ. stictecopterus (Tab. II. figg. 3, 4). 
Hilipus clathratus (p. 18). 
This species was figured under the name /7. venosus (Tab. II. fige. 7, 7 a). 
31. Hilipus securifer, nom. n. 
Hilipus securiger, antea, p. 23, t. 2. figg. 18, 18 a, 6 (nec Fauvel, 1861). 
The specific name securiger being preoccupied in the genus, it is here changed to 
securifer: Fauvel’s name was based upon the shape of the marking on each elytron, 
while that of the Central-American insect denoted the form of the antennal club in 
the male. 
Hilipus phrynodes (p. 27). 
To the localities given, add :—Cosra Rica, Tablazo 1700 metres (Biolley). 
38 (a). Hilipus spinipennis, sp.n. (Tab. XX XV. figg. 17, 17a.) 
Oblong-ovate, rather broad, dull brassy-black, sparsely clothed with small fulvous scales, the scutellum and 
under surface with whitish piliform scales, the legs with intermixed whitish and fulvous scales. Rostrum 
stout, feebly curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, sparsely punctate, smoother at the tip, the 
antenne inserted at a little beyond the middle. Eyes large, separated by about half the width of the 
rostrum. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front, deeply bisinuate 
at the base; sparsely tuberculate. Elytra about one-half wider than the prothorax, separately angulate 
at the apex; finely seriate-punctate, the interstices almost flat, 1, 3, 5,7, and 8 set with scattered 
conical tubercles, those on 3 and 5 large and prominent, 4, 6,9, and 10 also with a few tubercles towards 
the base or apex. Ventral segments sparsely, minutely punctate. 
Length 134, breadth 64 millim. ( @ ?) 
Hab. Costa Rica, Miravalles (Underwood). 
One specimen. Near H. spiculosus, but with the conical tubercles on the elytra 
mostly confined to the alternate interstices, those on 3 and 5 large and prominent, the 
others small. 
* Prof. Biolley has sent a specimen of this species to the British Museum ; it was found at Reventazon, 
Costa Rica. H. compressicollis was described in a supplementary note on the genus Hilipus, antea, 
pp. 49, 50.
