678 Mr. J. O. Westwoop on the Pausside, 
sufficiently convinced me that the Paussus flavicornis does not 
belong to the Pausside, but that it is referable to the Telephoride ; 
since Dalman’s observations upon the tarsi clearly prove that 
it is not allied to the Cerocome. I therefore propose for the 
insects in question, the generic name of 
MEGADEUTERUS*. 
Corpus parvum, villosum. Antenne articulo 1mo incurvo, elon- 
gato; 2do magno rotundato compresso ; articulis reliquis 
brevibus, filiformibus. Elytra molliuscula. Tarsi 5-arti- 
culati.

Species 2. 
My friend A. H. Haworth, Esq., F.L.S., &c. possesses in his 
cabinet an undescribed insect, evidently congenerous with the 
above, under the manuscript name of Cerocoma marginata. A 
casual examination of this insect enables me merely to state that 
it appears to agree with the Fabrician description of M. flavi- 
cornis in all respects, except that the suture and margins of the 
elytra are rufous. 
* peyas, magnus; and detrepos, secundus ;—in allusion to the large second joint of 
the antennz.
