NO. 3659 SCOLIIDAE—-KROMBEIN 9 
and we would expect to find it occupied by eztranea levert. This record 
becomes even more suspect when we note that in this material there 
is a specimen of the eastern New Guinea race, Campsomeriella mano- 
kwariensis lanhami (Krombein), bearing a “Kira Kira, San Cristoval’” 
label as well as several specimens of Austroscolia nitida nitida (Smith), 
another taxon occurring in New Guinea and the Bismarcks. Both 
Campsomeriella manokwariensis and Austroscolia nitida are represented 
by other races in the Solomons. It appears probable that some of these 
presumably mislabeled specimens may have been collected in eastern 
New Guinea because of the specimen of manokwariensis lanhami, a 
race that occurs on the Huon Peninsula, Markham River Valley, 
and at Port Moresby. 
Campsomeris (Radumeris) extranea leveri Krombein 
Solomon Islands: 1 &, Tambalia, 35 km west of Honiara, Guadal- 
canal, 30 meters, 22-25 May 1964, J. and M. Sedlacek. 
Campsomeris (Radumeris) extranea shanahani, new subspecies 
The single female of this previously unrecognized taxon from Gizo 
Island in the New Georgia group differs from females of the other 
races of eaztranea in lacking yellow integumental markings on the 
abdomen and in the very reduced yellow spot adjacent to the upper 
inner eye margin. Disregarding the lack of yellow abdominal markings 
it keys without difficulty to extranea (couplet 23). 
The putative male, represented by a short series from Vella Lavella 
Island in the New Georgia group, runs to eatranea (couplet 34) if one 
disregards the lack of a yellow band on the postscutellum. It differs 
from males of the other races of eztranea in having a very tiny yellow 
spot adjacent to the upper inner eye margin and in lacking yellow 
markings on the pronotum and postscutellum.
