Homalispa sulcicollis Champion, 1920: 222 View in CoL (type locality: ‘ Costa Rica, Alajuela and Juan Viñas near Rio Reventazon’ ; ST! in BMNH!).
Remarks. CHAMPION (1920) placed this species in Homalispa particularly because of the serrate lateroapical margins of the elytra and the metallic colour. However, the syntypes in BMNH do not have the mouthparts projecting forwards. The species seems to be most similar to X. costaricensis and X. exigua , and quite likely one of them represents its synonym. However, this require further comparison of type specimens.
Distribution. Costa Rica: Alajuela and Limón ( CHAMPION 1920).
