22 SUPPLEMENT. 
SMICRONYX (p. 129). 
M. Bovie, of Brussels, has sent me four specimens of a species belonging to the 
Pachyphanes-section of Smicronyx, apparently referable to S. discoideus, Lec.; they 
are labelled ‘‘ Lerdo,” but I am not sure where this place really is, unless Villa Lerdo 
in Durango is intended. Mr. Wickham, too, has sent me S. (Pachyphanes) corpulentus, 
Lec., from Brownsville, Texas, a species that will certainly be found to extend across 
the Rio Grande into Northern Mexico*. The Lerdo insect is much larger than 
S. corpulentus, and has a stouter rostrum and a very minute scutellum. Other species 
of the genus doubtless occur within our limits, many of the described forms inhabiting 
Arizona, Texas, or New Mexico. 
ANTHONOMINA. 
ANTHONOMUS (p. 155). 
16 (a). Anthonomus otidocephaloides, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. figg. 24, 24a, 3.) 
Pyriform, very shining, black, the antenne (the club excepted) obscure ferruginous ; the prothorax with three 
dense lines of white, hair-like scales extending from the base to beyond the middle—the median line 
continued backwards on to the scutellum, the marginal lines running downwards along the meso- and 
metasternal side-pieces, the anterior coxe also clothed with narrow white scales in front, the legs with 
fine white hairs. Head sparsely, finely punctate, foveate above the eyes; rostrum stout, curved, a little 
longer than the head and prothorax, somewhat thickly punctate, the antenne inserted near the tip. 
Prothorax convex, nearly as long as broad, narrowed in front; coarsely, closely punctate. Elytra 
comparatively short, gibbous, broader than the prothorax, widening to the middle ; finely striate, the 
strie feebly punctate, the interstices smooth and flat. Femora each with an acute tooth. Tibie sinuate 
within, the anterior pair dilated at the middle. Tarsal claws with a long fine tooth. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Near A. aterrimus, but pyriform in shape, the prothorax with three 
white lines—the median one extending on to the scutellum and the outer ones 
continued down the sternal side-pieces, the rostrum shorter, the prothorax narrower, 
the suture of the elytra glabrous and unimpressed at the base, the striz faintly 
punctured, the anterior femora with a single tooth only. 
This insect is so like an Otidocephalus that it was placed amongst the species of that 
group when our collections were sorted. 
Anthonomus mexicanus (p. 168). 
To the localities given, add:—NortH AMERICA, Brownsville, Texas (Wickham). 
We are indebted to Mr. Wickham for a North-American specimen of this widely 
distributed insect. 
* The same remark applies to Anthonomus ligatus, Dietz, Sibinia ochreosa, Casey, &c.
