The detailed specific description of Paussus Bucephalus given 

 by Gyllenhal in the Appendix to Schonherr's Synonymia In- 

 sectorum, and the accompanying figure, together with the obser- 

 vations upon the species by Dalman in the Analecta Eritomolo- 

 gica, and those by Latreille in the new edition of the Regne 

 Animalf vol. v. p. 93. have enabled me to draw the preceding 

 characters of this otherwise undescribed genus. Dalman ob- 

 serves, " Hanc speciem a reliquis Pausis nimis distare et vix 

 ejusdem esse generis, facile sibi persuasius habebit, qui, in 

 Schcenherri Syn. iii. App. tab. 6. figuras hujus et Pausi den- 

 ticornis" {Platyrhopalus unicolor mihi) " comparare voluerit. 

 Etenim in illo et ceteris veris Pausis, caput thorace multo est 

 minus, oculi ver6 magni, et prominentes ; cum in Pauso Buce- 

 phalo, caput thoracis latitudine, oculi minuti, et os etiam alls
