44 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
shorter; prothorax finely punctured, much broader than long, con- 
siderably rounded at the anterior angles, the sides gradually but slightly 
narrowing posteriorly, a shallow fovea on each side in front; scutellum 
dark copper-brown; elytra seriate-punctate, the punctures coarse, 
rather elongate, the sides parallel for about two-thirds of their length, 
then slightly rounded and gradually tapering to the apex; body be- 
neath and legs dark brown or black, with a tinge of reddish, especially 
on the femora; posterior tarsi with the basal joint longer than the rest 
together. Length 6 lines. 
There are very few species of this genus described in comparison 
to those in collections; and none, I believe, from Australia. I do 
not know anything to which the one here described can be assimi- 
lated, except one from Mysol, which, however, has only a certain 
similarity of outline. 
Campo.eneE [Tenebrionide }. 
Caput subexsertum, antice dilatatum, postice paullo constrictum. Oculi 
parvi, emarginati. Antenne breves, claviformes. Tibie curvate, mu- 
tices. Prosternum antice constrictum, postice subhorizontale, incurvato- 
productum. Mesosternum declinatum, antice triangulari excavatum. 
These characters are intended to be contrasted with those of 
Chariotheca and Titena, between which, I believe, this genus should 
be placed. The unarmed tibiz, and the partially horizontal and 
then incurved posterior portion of the prosternum, terminating in a 
short triangular process very imperfectly received in the correspond- 
ing notch of the mesosternum, will distinguish it from the former : 
while in Titena the anterior portion of the prosternum is so con- 
tracted that it forms a mere line in front of the two cotyloid cavities, 
so that the head in repose rests on the coxe, this part has the 
normal form in Campolene. There are also other differential cha- 
racters which it is not necessary to mention now. In habit Campo- 
lene resembles Helops.

Hab. New South Wales. 
Elongate-ovate, black, shining; head finely punctured, slightly con- 
tracted behind the eyes, expanded and a little concave anteriorly, the 
lip nearly hidden beneath the clypeus; antenne shorter than the pro- 
thorax, the third and fourth joints longest, the rest becoming gradually 
shorter, broader, and more compressed, the last largest and nearly cir- 
cular; eyes small, lateral, emarginate in front; terminal joint of
