The habitus of this species is unique for Paussus s.l. with regard to almost all body parts. The description of antennomere I (scape) does not indicate the presence of the anterolateral trichome brush. Although, Figs 1–3 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 show subapical structures that could be interpreted as small tubercles or a trichome brush (a character state normally present in species of the P. jousselinii group, Sg. Paussus ). The maxillary palpomere II (= third from last) is described as large, compressed, but the shape of the medial margin (straight, emarginate or convex) was not indicated. The illustration of the penultimate maxillary palpomere ( Maruyama 2014, fig. 2) does not indicate that it is “distinctly wider” than the terminal maxillary palpomere ( Robertson & Moore 2016). The terminal labial palpi are described as “slightly compressed, oblong oval with acute tip” ( Maruyama 2014). The pygidium is described with marginal trichome fringe absent. Most criteria are characteristic of Sg. Scaphipaussus .
