Abstract - Thrasycephalus Kleine, 1916 is a full genus, not a synonym of Mesoderes Senna, 1898. Thrasycephalus rossii n. sp. is described from Cambodia. The new taxon is close to T. guttatus Kleine, 1916, but differs from the latter in having light brown prothorax instead of black, thinner posterior yellow transversal stripe on elytra, and elytral sutura yellowish brown from base to apex, instead of black. A key to the species of Thrasycephalus is also given.
