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 0.60. 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

Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum moderately projected laterad and low triangular in dorsal view; posterior margin rounded. 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 four more or less distinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate without distinct pubescence ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, raised dorsomedially, subsemicircular in lateral view, and slightly curved laterad medially; median propodeal area glabrate with long, sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina and median transverse carina distinct. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.3 times as long as wide and slightly longer than submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 1.2 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely hidden beneath T7; relative length of T3–7: 2.7:1.0:2.0:2.3: 1.5; T3–5 glabrous; T6–7 finely punctate, without pubescence (which could have been removed artificially). Tibia and tarsi conspicuously pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2– 5mt 5 0.67. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus weiae is similar to P. annulicornis, but it differs in (1) antennal F1/F2 5 0.6 (usually F1/F2 5 0.8–0.9 in P. annulicornis species complex), (2) median frontal carina not raised into a laminate process, and (3) median propodeal carina percurrent, not bifurcated posteriorly. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Vietnam: Fyan (900–1,000 m), 1961-VII-11– VIII-9, N.R. Spencer coll. (BPBM). DISTRIBUTION: Vietnam. ETYMOLOGY: This species is named after Wei Liu (Vivian), daughter of Z.L. Paramblynotus eriki, new species FEMALE: Length 4.0 mm. Body entirely yellow brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna consisting of F5–8, F9–11 nearly black, and all other segments dark 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 distinct carina laterally, foveate posterior to anterior ocellus, and glabrate anteriorly with indistinct foveae along sides. Median frontal carina complete to clypeus and raised into a prominent lamilate, triangular (in lateral view) process between antennal sockets. Upper face foveate; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, defined by distinct carina laterally, and densely punctate with pubescence. Gena shallowly foveatereticulate. Lower face and clypeus foveaterugose. Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Lateral occipital carina not reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous, anteriorly not separated by a transverse carina from vertex. Anterior flange of pronotum transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous. Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest slightly raised medially but not into a distinct process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and distinctly separated in the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, only present along median part 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 and lobular; 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 five distinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and
