2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 105
arated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum
glabrous, finely sparsely punctate dorsomedially.
Pronotum dorsomedially not raised,
distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal
crest not raised into a median process.
Lateral pronotal carinae distinct and reaching
pronotal crest dorsomedially; lateral
surface of pronotum distinctly separated in
the middle. Lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate,
present to anterior third of posterior
margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly
arched dorsally and heavily foveate-reticulate.
Scutellar sulcus divided by a median
longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveatereticulate;
laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum
smoothly curved lateroposteriorly to
posterior margin of mesoscutellum; posterior
margin broadly rounded in dorsal view.
Pubescence in axillar area distinct but not
conspicuous. Mesopleural triangle densely
pubescent, well defined ventrally by
a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural
impression percurrent, with two more
or less distinct transverse costae; mesopleuron
glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly
depressed along ventral margin, and
densely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum
areolate-reticulate in upper part and conspicuously
pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal
carina percurrent, distinctly raised dorsally
throughout and slightly curved laterad
in posterior half; median propodeal area
glabrate with sparse pubescence; median
longitudinal carina present anteriorly only,
submedian transverse carina prominent,
and two submedian longitudinal carinae
present posteriorly. Rs+M of forewing arising
from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell
2.7 times as long as wide and slightly longer
than submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc + R 1
absent.
Petiole 1.1 times as long as wide in
lateral view. Tergum 8 completely hidden
beneath T7; relative length of T3–7:
2.0:1.0:1.2:2.5:1.2; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely
punctate with single row of pubescence; T7
finely punctate, with a band of sparse
pubescence anteriorly. Tibiae and tarsi conspicuously
pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia
long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/
2–5mt 5 0.56.
MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus shimenensis differs from all
other species of annulicornis species complex
by combination of the following characters:
(1) median frontal carina raised into a distinct
lamilate process between antennal sockets
and complete to clypeus, (2) gena areolate/
foveate-reticulate with a median vertical
carina, and (3) T6 longer than T3.
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, China:
Hunan, Shimen, Jiangping, Xiaoxi (1,470 m,
mixed evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved
forest), 1992-VIII-16–IX-15, F. Du and Z.
Liu coll. (ZICA).
DISTRIBUTION: China: Hunan.
ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after
the type locality.
Paramblynotus glaberus, new species
FEMALE:
Length 3.5 mm. Body entirely
yellow brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna
consisting of F6–8, F9–11 dark brown,
and all other segments brown. Forewing with
a deep ferruginous macula covering marginal
cell and the part of third cubital cell behind
marginal cell. Body parts, except as specified
below, with medially dense silvery pubescence.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform.
Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent and
distinctly extended laterally beyond outer
margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised,
defined by distinct carinae laterally, foveate
posterior to anterior ocellus, and glabrate
anteriorly. Median frontal carina complete to
clypeus and raised between antennal sockets
to form a distinct lamilate process. Upper
face glabrate-foveate; antennal scrobe distinctly
depressed, glabrous, and defined by
a distinct carina laterally. Gena areolaterugulose
with a median vertical carina.
Lower face and clypeus foveate-rugose.
Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Lateral
occipital carina reaching posterior part of
vertex. Occiput glabrous, anteriorly separated
by a transverse carina from vertex.
Anterior flange of pronotum transversely
striate; submedian pronotal pits separated
from each other medially. Anterior plate of
pronotum glabrous. Pronotum dorsomedially
not raised, distinctly lower than
mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised into
a median process. Lateral pronotal carina
