Paussus masaoi

Diagnosis
Subgenus Spinicoxipaussus. Several species similar in antennal shape are known in Paussus. However, none are obviously closely related to this species. The crista of the head is similar to those of P. histrix Westwood, 1850 and its allies (members of “Scaphipaussus Fowler sensu Luna de Carvalho, 1989”, no longer recognized as a genus nor subgenus as mentioned above), but distinguished from them by the antennae lacking a posterior furrow and without traces of indentations, and the setal arrangements and puncturation of the dorsal surface which are almost sparse and weak.
