Campsomeris (Phalerimeris) loriae kolombangarensis, new subspecies 
This distinctive melanic race of loriae, known only from males, is 
separated from the other races of loriae by the reduced yellow markings. 
Although it is now known to occur only on Kolombangara in the New 
Georgia group, it is quite likely that it will be found on the other 
islands in that group when more extensive collecting has been accom- 
plished. The closest congener, loriae milliront Krombein, is known 
from Guadalcanal, Florida, Rendova, Vella Lavella, and Bougainville 
Islands in the Solomons, and from New Britain in the Bismarck 
Archipelago. It differs from loriae millironi in having the clypeus black 
except sides, yellow markings very reduced or lacking on the pronotum, 
and the postscutellum, abdomen (almost entirely), and legs black. 
The genitalia are identical with those of the other subspecies.
