joint elongate. Prothorax 3-4 x 3 mm., rather convex and gib- 

 bous in middle at apex, widest at base, very little narrowed at 

 apex, widely arcuate at apex, anterior angles obtuse, slightly de- 

 pressed, and scarcely advanced, sides nearly straight (feebly arcu- 

 ate) on anterior two-thirds, sinuate behind, posterior angles acute 

 and slightly produced, base bisinuate, lateral border rounded and 

 somewhat thick, with a very narrow sulcus within, disc clearly 

 punctate, the punctures shallow and not close, a transverse depres- 

 sion behind middle and two basal foveae. Scutellum small, triangu- 

 lar. Elytra ovate, convex, slightly gibbous in front of middle, of 

 same width as prothorax at base and twice as long, widening be- 

 hind, seriate-punctate, the punctures smaller and closer near 

 suture, large and foveolate on sides and apex, general surface 

 rather uneven, with some transverse ridges and depressions, nar- 

 rowly bordered. Sternum closely, abdomen rather sparsely punc- 

 tate, prosternal process concave in middle and punctate, imper- 

 fectly received into the triangular receptacle of the mesosternum. 

 Fore and middle tibiae curved, hind tarsi straight. Dimensions, 

 9 X 3-6 mm. 



iJab.— Kuranda (H. Dodd). 



A single specimen, sent by Mr. Dodd, is congeneric with C. 

 cupripennis Pasc, but differs in its more explanate prothorax, its 

 more gibbous elytra and uneven surface, inter alia multa. In 

 form, it suggests Campolene nitida Pasc. Type in the Author's 

 Coll. 



Postscript (added 31st March).— The following extract from a 

 letter received from Mr. R. G. Blair, of the British Museum, is 

 of interest in evidence of the mystery connected with Boisduval's 

 species. ''J think I can clear up a few of Boisduval's species. 

 Bates acquired, with La Ferte's Collection, a set of duplicate 

 Heteromera from the Dejean Collection, and among these are 

 probably cotypes, possibly types of Boisduval's species. These 

 are as follows : — 



Tenebrio australis Boisd. = Meneristes intermedins Pasc, a small 

 specimen, resembling one seen by you (from Peak Downs).
