distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially;
lateral surface of pronotum distinctly
separated in the middle. Lateral surface of
pronotum foveate-reticulate. Dorsal pronotal
area punctate with pubescence, complete to
end of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum
strongly arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate.
Scutellar sulcus divided by
a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum
foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of
mesoscutellum distinctly projected laterad;
posterior margin 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 distinctly
pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal
carina percurrent, distinctly raised dorsomedially
into lobular process and slightly curved
laterad medially; median propodeal area
glabrous; median longitudinal carina weakly
percurrent; and median transverse carina
distinct. Rs+M of forewing arising from
middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.6 times
as long as wide and slightly longer than
submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.
Petiole as long as wide in lateral view.
Tergum 8 completely hidden beneath T7;
relative length of T3–7: 1.9:1.0:1.1:2.8:2.1;
T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with a few
scattered pubescence; T7 finely punctate,
with a narrow band of sparse pubescence
anteriorly. Tibia and tarsi conspicuously
pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long,
slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5

MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus glaberus is similar to P.
shimenensis in that both species have
(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. The
species is further separated from P. shimenensis
by its (1) mainly glabrous upper face,
(2) presence of a dorsal occipital carina,
(3) distinctly projected dorsolateral process
of mesoscutellum, and (4) T7 only slightly
shorter than T6.
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Malaysia:
Negri S., Posah Forest Reserve, 1978-
VIII-22, P. and M. Becker coll. (AEI).
DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo.
ETYMOLOGY: This species is derived
from glaber (Latin), meaning smooth without
hair, referring to its glabrous upper face.
Paramblynotus weiae, new species
FEMALE:
Length 2.8 mm. Body entirely
dark brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna
consisting of F6–7, and the other segments
brown. Forewing with a deep ferruginous
macula covering marginal cell and part of
third cubital cell behind marginal cell. Body
parts, except as specified below, with moderately
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 weak carina laterally, foveate
posterior to anterior ocellus, and glabrate
anteriorly. Median frontal carina raised into
a low, dorsally flattened ridge between
antennal sockets, and distinctly extending to
clypeus. Upper face glabrate-foveate; antennal
scrobe defined by distinct carina laterally,
distinctly depressed, and glabrous with faint
diagonal carination and punctate with distinct
pubescence. Gena areolate-rugulose
anteriorly and glabrate posteriorly. Lower
face and clypeus foveate-rugose with apparent
radiating carination in lower part of
lower face and clypeus. Anterior tentorial
pits small. Lateral occipital carina reaching
posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous,
anteriorly not separated by a transverse
carina from vertex.
Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous.
Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly
lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not
raised into a median process. Lateral pronotal
carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest
dorsomedially; lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate and distinctly separated in
the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrous,
present to long posterior margin of pronotum
to middle part. Mesoscutum strongly arched
