Records and Descriptions of 
Additional Scoliidae from New Guinea, 
Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands 
(Hymenoptera: Aculeata) 
By Karl V. Krombein 
Chairman, Department of Entomology 
Several hundred Scoliidae have been obtained in New Guinea, 
Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands by field parties of the 
Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, since those reported upon 
in my revisionary study of these wasps (Krombein, 1963). I am 
erateful to J. L. Gressitt and C. M. Yoshimoto for supplying me the 
specimens for study. I have prepared the following brief paper in- 
asmuch as included among the specimens are several distinctive 
new species and subspecies of Campsomeris subgenera Laevicamp- 
someris and Phalerimeris, and Campsomeris, sensu lato, the previously 
unrecognized males of two other species belonging to the subgenus 
Laevicampsomeris, and the previously unknown female of Diliacos 
r. ribber (Betrem). Also, many specimens came from a number of new 
localities and provide additional data on seasonal occurrence of 
many species. 
The species are arranged in systematic order as in my revisionary 
paper. The nomenclature employed is also the same except for the 
changes necessitated by two recent papers on classification of the 
Scoliidae (Betrem, 1962, 1967; Bradley and Betrem, 1967).
