Black-bellied Myzomela, Myzomela erythromelas, is a honeyeater found in New Britain in the south-east Bismarck Archipelago of Australasia. It is restricted to that island and lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. The species was described by Salvadori in 1881. Males are mostly black with a scarlet hood, while females are chiefly olive with a red mask on the forehead. Both sexes have a black bill. It feeds on nectar and has been seen foraging in small parties, sometimes alongside ashy myzomela and red myzomela.
