That is a "stiffener" bracket (#9 & #10 in the picture below). There are two that connect the cylinder block to the transmission, and help reinforce the connection between the two. They are around $35 each from Honda, but you can buy them here for about $10 less. Make sure you know which one you need before you order it because each one is different...
