2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 111
punctate, with row of sparse pubescence
anteriorly. Tibiae and tarsi conspicuously
pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long,
slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5
0.67.
MALE: Body length 3.5 mm. Antenna
14-segmented. T3 and T5 distinctly larger
than the other terga.
Paramblynotus axeli is unique among
species of the annulicornis complex by having
Rs+M of forewing arising from posterior
third of basal vein. It is more similar to P.
asae than to the other soecies of the complex,
but it can be distinguished from P. asae by
the following additional characters: antennal
scrobes densely, but finely punctate, triangular
ocellar plate not defined by lateral
carinae, median frontal carina not forming
a dorsally flattened process between antennal
sockets, and occiput mostly foveate-reticulate.

FEMALE: Length 2.6–3.8 mm. 1mt/2–
5mt 5 0.55. Body usually yellowish brown
to dark brown, mesosoma and/or head
sometimes black. Antenna 13-segmented
and dark brown. Wings clear, except marginal
cell of forewing deep ferruginous.
MALE: Length 1.8–2.5 mm. Antenna 14-
segmented.
The generally yellowish to brown body of
P. ruficeps color resembles species of the
annulicornis species complex, but P. ruficeps
lacks a pale ring on the antenna, the median
frontal carina is only weakly present between
antennal sockets, and the macula of the
forewing is only limited to a marginal cell.
Darker individuals of the species can be more
easily confused with lighter individuals of its
sympatric species P. punctulatus. Nonetheless,
the two species can be distinguished
relatively easily. P. ruficeps has clear wings
with a ferruginous marginal cell, the angle
between Rs and 2r is less than 90u, and the
marginal cell is about 2.5 times as long as
wide. P. punctulatus has relatively evenly
smoke-tinted wings, the angle between Rs
and 2r is distinctly larger than 90u, and the
marginal cell is about 3.3 times as long as
wide.

Paramblynotus pubifemoratus, new species
FEMALE:
Length 4.0 mm. Body entirely
black, and antenna and legs yellow to yellow
brown. Wings completely transparent. The
species is unsually hairy, particularly on head
and lateral surface of pronotum.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform,
not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate
and punctate with distinct pubescence.
Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally
beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar
plate raised, foveate/punctate-reticulate, and
defined laterally by weak carina. Median
frontal carina simple, reaching to lower
margin of antennal sockets. Upper face
foveate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly
depressed, glabrous, densely punctate anteriorly,
and defined by weak carina laterally.
Gena glabrate and densely and finely punctate
with pubescence. Lower face and clypeus
foveate/punctate-reticulate with dense pubescence;
anterior tentorial pits small. Lateral
occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput
glabrous.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrate to
finely transversely striate, submedian pronotal
depressions separated from each other
medially. Anterior plate of pronotum densely
finely punctate and pubescent. Pronotum
