Tergum 8 completely hidden beneath T7; relative length of T3–7: 1.6:1.0:1.1:1.3: 0.8; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with 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 0.64. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus eriki differs from all other species of the annulicornis complex by a combination of (1) median frontal carina raised into a prominent lamilate process between antennal sockets and complete to clypeus, (2) pronotal crest slightly raised medially, (3) petiole 1.75 times as long as wide, and (4) T5–6 not particularly larger compared to the other tergites.

Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised, foveate-reticulate entirely, and not defined by distinct carina laterally. Median frontal carina extended to the level of lower margin of eyes and raised into a lamilate, dorsally flattened process between antennal sockets. Upper face foveate; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, punctate to punctate-reticulate, and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena foveate-rugose. Lower face and clypeus foveate-rugose, clypeus also with apparent longitudinal striation. Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Lateral occipital carina barely 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 and finely punctate with pubescence dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and distinctly separated in the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present to middle 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 indistinct; lateral sides convergent posteriorly, and 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 many more or less distinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, distinctly raised throughout into a high ridge and strongly curved laterad medially; median propodeal area foveate with sparse pubescence; median

Marginal cell 2.0 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: 1.75:1.0:1.2: 1.6:0.9; T3–5 glabrous; T6–7 finely punctate, each with a single row of long pubescence/ setae. Tibia and tarsi conspicuously pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.85. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus asae is close to P. ebbae but differs in (1) median frontal carina raised into a distinct, dorsally flattened process between antennal sockets, and (2) antennal scrobes densely and coarsely punctate. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Indonesia: Sulawesi, Dumoga-Bone N.P., Toraut (680 m), 1985-V, J.S. Noyes coll. (NHM, B.M. 1985-10). PARATYPES: 4RR. 2RR, same data (except at 600 m) as holotype (NHM); 1R, Indonesia: Sulawesi, Dumoga-Bone N.P. (Platc. F.I.T.2), 1985-II-6–13 (NHM); 1R, Indonesia: N. Sulawesi (7 km from N. Malibagu, 0u279N, 123u589E, 125 m), C. v. Achterberg (NNMN). DISTRIBUTION: Indonesia: Sulawesi. ETYMOLOGY: This species is named after Asa Nordlander, daughter of G.N. Paramblynotus ebbae, new species FEMALE: Length 2.8 mm. Body dark brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna consisting of F6–7. Flagellomeres other than F6–7 black. 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, not defined laterally by distinct carina, surface foveate, and with a row of large foveae lining each side. Median frontal carina raised into a low lamilate process and percurrent to clypeus. Upper face foveate to foveate-reticulate; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, with dense and fine punctures, and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena foveate-reticulate. Lower face foveatereticulate with dense pubescence. Anterior tentorial pits distinct. Clypeus punctate/foveate-reticulate. Lateral occipital carina not reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous. Anterior flange of pronotum glabrate with trace of fine, transverse striation; submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and punctate dorsomedially. 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 foveatereticulate with pubescence and distinctly separated in the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrous, only visible as a crescent area anteriorly. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally and heavily foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum not prominent; posterior margin not projected. 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 a few indistinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and densely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolatereticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, dorsomedially strongly raised and distinctly curved laterad; median propodeal area glabrate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina purcurrent (less distinct posteriorly) and submedian transverse carina prominent. Rs+M of forewing arising from posterior third of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.5 times as long as wide and almost as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.7 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 entirely covered by T7; relative length of T3–7: 1.1:1.0:1.5:1.9:0.9; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with sparse
