In the formation of the club composing the second or exterior joint of the antenna?, 

 this species differs altogether from the others : the club is entire or not excavated, 

 and is slightly beset with hairs. Of this species Mr. Fichtel met with only a solitary 

 specimen, as was likewise the case with Paussus Fichtelii.
