description: Campures gen. n.   
 Type species: Campures pallens sp. n.   
EtymOLOgy: The geNerIc Name Is derIved frOm the Greek καμπούρης (huNchback). Gender: masculine.  
 Diagnosis: Body (thorax + abdomen) curved in lateral view (Fig. 1). Metope with median and sublateral carinae (Figs 2, 6). Postclypeus with relief median carina, visible in lateral view (Fig. 1). Forewings very short, reaching only the middle of 3 rd abdominal tergite (Fig. 1). First metatarsomere with only latero-apical spines.   
 Description: Metope wide, upper margin angularly concave, lateral margins convex — roof-shaped above the scapus. Metope with distinct median and sublateral carinae (Fig. 6); latter running obliquely from upper margin of metope to the metopoclypeal suture. Median carina of metope not reaching its upper margin but running across metopoclypeal suture through whole postclypeus. On postclypeus median carina relief, keel-shaped (in lateral view) (Fig. 1). Metopoclypeal suture distinctly visible only laterally. Postclypeus large. Pedicel large with apical process. Basal part of pedicel with 6–7 sensory pits and the apical process with 5 sensory pits (Figs 7, 8). Coryphe transverse, sexangular (in dorsal view) (Fig. 5), posterior margin nearly straight. Pronotum transverse, 0.3× as long as mesonotum, with distinct median carina (Fig. 6). Lateral margins of pronotal dIsc keeL-shaped. ParadIscaL fieLds Of prONOtum very NarrOw, aLmOst NOt vIsIbLe behINd the eyes. Paranotal lobes of pronotum wide, without carinae. Mesonotum with distinct lateral carinae and without median carina. Forewings short, reaching only the middle of 3 rd abdOmINaL tergIte, veNatION Obscure (FIg. 1). FOre aNd mIddLe femOra flatteNed, sLIghtLy fOLIate (FIg. 9); hINd femOra flatteNed, but NOt fOLIate. HINd tIbIa wIth a sINgLe LateraL tOOth medIaLLy aNd wIth five apIcaL teeth. FIrst metatarsOmere 1.5× as LONg as secONd ONe, bOth wIth ONLy LaterO-apIcaL spINes. VeNtraL surface Of first metatarsOmere with short and thick setae. Ventral surface of second metatarsomere with long and thin setae. Arolium of pretarsus exceeding claws’ apices (in dorsal view).   
Female genital block: Sternum VII with concave hind margin (Fig. 11). Pygofer with widely and slightly concave hind margin. Anal tube wide, nearly oval (in dorsal view) (Fig. 10). Anal column (paraproct) short. Each gonoplac with a comb. Endogonocoxal processes large, bilobed apically (Fig. 12).  
 Comparison:According to the presence of keel-shaped median carina on the postclypeus, and general pale coloration with brown dots, the new genus is similar to the female of Calampocus sphaeroides Gnezdilov & Bourgoin, 2009 (Gnezdilov & Bourgoin 2009, figs 27–28). HOwever, the Latter specIes Is dIstINguIshed by a smaLL prObOscIs fOrmed by the lower part of metope and upper part of the postclypeus, pronotum without carinae, mesONOtum wIth medIaN carINa, aNd first metatarsOmere wIth ONe INtermedIate spINe (Gnezdilov & Bourgoin 2009).
