4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 125 
Ho.otryrr.— , Gizo Island, New Georgia Group, Solomon Islands, 
100 meters, 16 July 1964, J. and M. Sedlacek, Bishop Museum. 
Length 23 mm, forewing 18 mm. Exactly like typical solomonis in 
punctation and shape of longer hind tibial spur, but the vestiture 
fulvous, wings yellowish and lacking the green and blue reflections, 
and veins testaceous. 
Maue.—Presumably identical to typical solomonis in color of 
vestiture and integument. 
PARATYPE.—1 @ ,same data as holotype, but 19 July 1964, USNM. 
It is very similar to the holotype but is only 20 mm long. 
Campsomeris (Laevicampsomeris) quatei, new species 
This is known from a single female from West New Guinea. It is 
unique among females of this subgenus in having the entire posterior 
half of the vertex, scutellum, postscutellum, and median area of 
dorsal surface of propodeum with rather close punctures. It keys to 
couplet 8 and is distinguished from nigerruma (Smith) and solomonis 
Krombein as noted above. 
Ho.oryprse.—, Bokondini, 40 km north of Baliem Valley, ca. 1300 
meters, West New Guinea, 16-23 November 1961, L. W. Quate, 
Bishop Museum. 
Length 25 mm, forewing 22 mm. Integument black; wings dark 
brown with purplish reflections, the margin of forewing darker. 
Vestiture black except that on clypeus and a few hairs on vertex 
light brown. 
Clypeus with only a small median area and the apical rim impunc- 
tate; area frontalis and spatium frontale coarsely and closely punc- 
tate, upper part of front with scattered punctures; a narrow space 
anteriorly on vertex impunctate, elsewhere closely punctate. 
Pronotum with moderately large, close punctures bearing stout 
erect setae, a narrow strip along posterior margin and anterior declivity 
impunctate; scutum with large contiguous punctures on anterior 
half and lateral third posteriorly, the median posterior space nearly 
smooth except for some punctures near midline; disks of scutum and 
scutellum with moderately sized, subcontiguous punctures except 
along midline; metapleuron and propodeum devoid of large punctures 
except median area of dorsal surface of propodeum with mostly 
subcontiguous, moderately large punctures. 
Longer spur of hind tibia spatulate at tip, about two-thirds as 
long as hind basitarsus. 
Maue.— Unknown. 
Campsomeris (Laevicampsomeris) papuana, new species 
The presence of abundant pale hair on the front, sides, and venter 
of head, the sides and venter of thorax (dorsum also in male), legs,
