Mesoscutum flat dorsally and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows and evenly distributed appressed pubescence. Scutellar sulcus divided only by a single median longitudinal carina. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; mesoscutellum broadly trapezoid posteriorly in dorsal view, with posterior margin distinctly emarginate; lateral dorsal process distinct. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent and glabrous. Upper mesopleuron glabrous and with short pubescence anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous and densely pubescent in ventral impression. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, strongly curved laterally, and distinctly raised dorsally to form in the middle a strong, broadly rounded process with sparse dorsal pubescence; median propodeal area glabrate, with median longitudinal carina anterior to median transverse carina and two submedian carinae posteriorly. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.5 times as long as wide and 1.6 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.60 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely covered by T7; relative size of abdominal T3–7: 1.6:1.0:1.0:2.1:0.9; T3 glabrous; T4 glabrous with a narrow band of fine punctures across anterior second fifth; T5 glabrous and finely punctate; T6 finely and densely punctate dorsolaterally, with an extensive patch of dense pubescence covering posterior twothirds of upper half of the tergite; and T7 densely punctate, with a broad band of conspicuous pubescence dorsolaterally in the middle and posteriorly glabrous. Apical teeth of metatibia slender and pointed apically. Metatibia with two to three dorsal dents. Apical protuberance of first metatarsomeres reaching slightly beyond middle of second metatarsomere. 1mt (excluding apical protuberance)/2–5mt 5 0.66. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus nebulosus differs from all other species of the genus except P. miniatus in having its metatibia dorsally with dents. It differs from the latter in (1) forewing with a broad dark gray band along outer margin; (2) upper metepisternum without a large, glabrous elevated median area; (3) head, pronotum, and metasomal T6–7 covered with conspicuous pubescence; and (4) distinctly larger.
