Mr. J. 0. Westwood on the Paussida, 
postick pauld latiori et elevatiori planft, in duabus partibus 
linefi, impressa longitudinali centralique divisS ; parte pos- 
tica angustiori (praesertim ad ejus basin) in medio exca- 
vatione oblonga. Elytra thorace latiora, lineari-oblonga, 
subdepressa, abdominis apicem non tegentia. Pedes me- 
diocres femoribus tibiisque subcylindricis hirsutis, tarsis 
tibiarum crassitudine hirtis. 
This is a very remarkable species : the elongation of the 
body, the structure of the antennae, thorax, tarsi, and spinous 
head at once distinguish it from all the other species, and are 
so remarkable, that I have no doubt, when the trophi are care- 
fully examined, sufficient variation from the typical formation 
will be discovered to warrant the establishment of it as a distinct 
genus. I regret that I was unable to examine these organs in 
the specimen preserved in the collection of M. le Comte Dejean, 
from which the above description and accompanying drawing 
were made, and which originally formed part of that of M. La- 
treille. It is therefore only provisionally that I place it amongst 
the Paussi near to P. splucrocerus, to which in some respects 
it most nearly approaches.
