conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum<br />

areolate-reticulate in upper part and<br />

conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral<br />

propodeal carina percurrent, distinctly raised<br />

dorsomedially into lobular process (triangular<br />

in lateral view) and strongly curved<br />

laterad medially; median propodeal area<br />

glabrate with sparse pubescence; median<br />

longitudinal carina percurrent and median<br />

transverse carina distinct. Rs+M <strong>of</strong> forewing<br />

arising from middle <strong>of</strong> basal vein. Marginal<br />

cell 2.0 times as long as wide and slightly<br />

shorter than submarginal cell. Bulla on<br />

Sc+R 1 absent.<br />

Petiole 1.75 times as long as wide in lateral<br />

view. Tergum 8 completely hidden beneath<br />

T7; relative length <strong>of</strong> T3–7: 1.6:1.0:1.1:1.3:<br />

0.8; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with<br />

scattered pubescence; T7 finely punctate,<br />

with a narrow band <strong>of</strong> sparse pubescence<br />

anteriorly. Tibia and tarsi conspicuously<br />

pubescent. Apical teeth <strong>of</strong> metatibia long,<br />

slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5<br />

MALE: Unknown.<br />

Paramblynotus eriki differs from all o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

species <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> annulicornis complex by a combination<br />

<strong>of</strong> (1) median frontal carina raised<br />

into a prominent lamilate process between<br />

antennal sockets and complete to clypeus,<br />

(2) pronotal crest slightly raised medially,<br />

(3) petiole 1.75 times as long as wide, and<br />

(4) T5–6 not particularly larger compared to<br />

<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r tergites.<br />

TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Malaysia:<br />

Negri S., Pasoh Forest Reserve (secondary<br />

forest), 1979-I-25, coll. P. and M. Becker<br />

(AEI).<br />

DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo.<br />

ETYMOLOGY: This species is named after<br />

Erik Nordlander, son <strong>of</strong> G.N.<br />

Paramblynotus asae, new species<br />

FEMALE:<br />

Length 2.5–3.0 mm. Body entirely<br />

dark brown. Submedial pale ring <strong>of</strong><br />

antenna consisting <strong>of</strong> F6–7, and all o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

segments dark brown. Forewing with a deep<br />

ferruginous macula covering marginal cell<br />

and <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> third cubital cell behind<br />

marginal cell. Body parts, except as specified<br />

below, with medially dense long golden<br />

pubescence.<br />

Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform.<br />

Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent and<br />

distinctly extended laterally beyond outer<br />

margin <strong>of</strong> gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised,<br />

foveate-reticulate entirely, and not defined by<br />

distinct carina laterally. Median frontal<br />

carina extended to <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> lower margin<br />

<strong>of</strong> eyes and raised into a lamilate, dorsally<br />

flattened process between antennal sockets.<br />

Upper face foveate; antennal scrobe distinctly<br />

depressed, punctate to punctate-reticulate,<br />

and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena<br />

foveate-rugose. Lower face and clypeus<br />

foveate-rugose, clypeus also with apparent<br />

longitudinal striation. Anterior tentorial pits<br />

indistinct. Lateral occipital carina barely<br />

reaching posterior part <strong>of</strong> vertex. Occiput<br />

glabrous, anteriorly not separated by a transverse<br />

carina from vertex.<br />

Anterior flange <strong>of</strong> pronotum transversely<br />

striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated<br />

medially. Anterior plate <strong>of</strong> pronotum<br />

glabrous and finely punctate with pubescence<br />

dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially not<br />

raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum;<br />

pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral<br />

pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal<br />

crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface <strong>of</strong> pronotum<br />

foveate-reticulate and distinctly separated<br />

in <strong>the</strong> middle. Dorsal pronotal area<br />

glabrate, present to middle <strong>of</strong> posterior<br />

margin <strong>of</strong> pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly<br />

arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate. Scutellar<br />

sulcus divided by a median longitudinal<br />

carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal<br />

process <strong>of</strong> mesoscutellum indistinct;<br />

lateral sides convergent posteriorly, and<br />

posterior margin rounded in dorsal view.<br />

Pubescence in axillar area distinct but not<br />

conspicuous. Mesopleural triangle densely<br />

pubescent, well defined ventrally by<br />

a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural<br />

impression percurrent, with many<br />

more or less distinct transverse costae;<br />

mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron<br />

strongly depressed along ventral margin and<br />

conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum<br />

areolate-reticulate in upper part and<br />

conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral<br />

propodeal carina percurrent, distinctly raised<br />

throughout into a high ridge and strongly<br />

curved laterad medially; median propodeal<br />

area foveate with sparse pubescence; median
