  Since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  Appendix 
  to 
  the 
  Curculionina? 
  

   in 
  the 
  ' 
  Biologia 
  Centrali- 
  Americana 
  ; 
  [Coleopt. 
  iv. 
  pt. 
  7, 
  

   pp. 
  178-212 
  (Oct. 
  1910)] 
  a 
  few 
  additional 
  forms 
  have 
  been 
  

   found 
  amongst 
  the 
  stores 
  at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  and 
  as 
  

   there 
  are 
  two 
  fine 
  new 
  Zygopids 
  amongst 
  these 
  insects, 
  it 
  is 
  

   advisable 
  to 
  describe 
  them 
  at 
  once, 
  before 
  the 
  collection 
  of 
  

   this 
  subfamily 
  is 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  by 
  Dr. 
  F. 
  D. 
  

   Godman. 
  The 
  Zygopids 
  are 
  particularly 
  interesting, 
  as 
  they 
  

   prove 
  to 
  be 
  common 
  to 
  Costa 
  Rica 
  and 
  Ecuador. 
  

  

  Hylobiina.

  ? 
  . 
  Rather 
  short, 
  broad, 
  piceous, 
  the 
  depressions 
  of 
  the 
  

   surface 
  somewhat 
  sparsely 
  clothed 
  with 
  very 
  small, 
  hair-like, 
  

   ochreous 
  scales, 
  the 
  prothorax 
  with 
  a 
  transverse 
  patch 
  of 
  

   broader, 
  similarly-coloured 
  scales 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  in 
  front, 
  a 
  

   larger 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  flanks 
  beneath, 
  and 
  

   a 
  few 
  white 
  scales 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  near 
  the 
  hind 
  angles, 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  also 
  with 
  several 
  small 
  widely 
  scattered 
  intermixed 
  

   patches 
  of 
  rather 
  broad 
  white 
  scales, 
  these 
  being 
  clustered 
  

   into 
  an 
  irregular 
  transverse 
  fascia 
  at 
  one-third 
  from 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  the 
  scutellum 
  albo-squamose. 
  Head 
  densely 
  punctate, 
  

   foveate 
  between 
  the 
  somewhat 
  narrowly 
  separated 
  eyes; 
  

   rostrum 
  very 
  feebly 
  curved, 
  moderately 
  stout, 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  

   than 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  rostrum, 
  sparsely 
  punctate, 
  smooth 
  along 
  

   the 
  median 
  line 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  tip. 
  Prothorax 
  strongly 
  trans- 
  

   verse, 
  slightly 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  sides, 
  and 
  abruptly 
  constricted 
  

   and 
  narrowed 
  in 
  front 
  ; 
  sharply 
  carinate 
  and 
  coarsely 
  granu- 
  

   late. 
  Elytra 
  moderately 
  long, 
  broad, 
  punctate-striate,
