44 PAUSSUS AXDREAE, 



NOTE XV. 



ON A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS PAUSSUS, 

 PAUSSUS ANDREAE, FROM JAVA. 



BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



This new species is very closely allied to Paussus Lu- 

 deJcingii v. Voll. ') of Sumatra, but differs specifically 

 in having the club of the antennae more slender and less 

 swollen , and the elytra without distinct punctures ^). Both 

 species belong to Westwood's ^) section A (prothorax quasi 

 bipartitus) , b (antennarum clava postice excavata) ,* (species 

 Asiaticae). 



I have named the species in honor of its fortunate 

 discoverer, whose father-in-law kindly presented the spe- 

 cimen to the Leyden Museum : 



Paussus Andreae , sp. n. 



Length 6 mm. — Black ; the club of the antennae , the 

 parts of the mouth and the tarsi dark piceous , the latter 

 somewhat brighter; the hind margin of the elytra, the 

 abdomen , the metasternum , the coxae and trochanters of 

 the hind-legs and the coxae of the middle-legs brown-red.
