Apical protuberance of first metatarsomeres extending to middle of second metatarsomeres. 1mt (excluding apical process)/2–5mt 5 0.54. MALE: Unknown. The species is similar to P. dyak, but it can be distinguished from the latter by (1) eyes more strongly protruding laterally, (2) pronotal crest lower than mesoscutum, (3) mesoscutum slightly bent anteriorly, and (4) antennae and legs red brown. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Malaysia: Negri S., Posah Forest Reserve (secondary forest), 1979-III-29, P. and M. Becker coll. (AEI). PARATYPES: 7RR, 1978-XI-8– 1980-IV-30, other data as holotype (except one from forest gap) (AEI, 6; CRF, 1). DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo. ETYMOLOGY: This species is named after the collector. Paramblynotus venoforticulus, new species FEMALE: Length 5.0 mm. Body and antenna entirely black. Fore- and middle legs red brown with coxae black; hindleg with coxa dark brown, femur red brown, and tibia and tarsus black. Wings transparent; forewing with a rectangular macula along the middle of anterior margin, covering marginal cell, distal one-third of first submarginal cell, and basal part of second submarginal cell anteriorly. Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent, extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate distinctly raised, mostly foveate-reticulate, and defined laterally by carina lined along interior side with a row of large foveae, and with a small glabrous triangular area beneath anterior ocellus. Median frontal carina simple and present only between antennal sockets. Upper face longitudinally carinate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, punctate-reticulate, longitudinally carinate posteriorly, and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena punctate-reticulate and sparsely foveate with dense pubescence; lower face foveatereticulate, and clypeus foveate/punctatereticulate; anterior tentorial pits distinct; and clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus indistinct. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate medially and glabrous laterally. Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous, submedian pronotal depressions separated from each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum densely finely punctate and laterally also with dense pubescence. Pronotum dorsomedially raised, distinctly higher than mesoscutum; pronotal crest raised medially into a distinct process-like peak. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, almost reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and densely pubescent. Dorsal pronotal area present only along anterior third of posterior margin of pronotum and superficially transversely carinate anteriorly. Mesoscutum flat dorsally and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided only by a median longitudinal carina. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; mesoscutellum truncate posteriorly in dorsal view. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent and glabrous with several superficial transverse costae. Upper mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron glabrous and pubescent in ventral impression. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part, with a small elevated glabrous area medially, and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carinae percurrent, almost parallel to each other, and strongly raised anterodorsally into a conspicuous, dorsally rounded triangular process with dense dorsal pubescence; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina percurrent, crossed by a submedial transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.0 times as long as wide and 1.4 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.
2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 119 Petiole 0.70 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 not exposed; relative length of T3–7: 1.7:1.0:1.3:2.4:1.3; T3 glabrous; T4– 5 finely densely punctate; T6 coarsely densely punctate; and T7 densely punctate except glabrous posteriorly, with a band of conspicuous pubescence dorsolaterally. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. First metatarsomeres with apical protuberance extending to one-third of second metatarsomeres. 1mt (excluding apical process)/2–5mt 5 0.78. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus venoforticulus is separated from all other Paramblynotus species except P. grossus by the combination of having (1) occiput longitudinally carinate, (2) pronotum raised into a peak, and (3) forewing with a rectangular macula along middle of anterior margin. It differs from P. grossus in that its gena is not expanded behind eyes and its legs are mostly red brown. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Vietnam: Fyan (900–1,000 m), 1961-VII-11– VIII-9, N.R. Spencer (BPBM). DISTRIBUTION: Vietnam. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, veno, vein, and forticulus, strong. The name refers to the heavy veins of the species. Paramblynotus distinctus, new species FEMALE: Length 3.5 mm. Head yellow brown; rest of body, antenna, and legs dark brown. Wings transparent. Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum distinctly widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate distinctly raised, mostly glabrate-foveate, and defined laterally by carina lined along interior side with a row of large, superficial foveae, and with a small glabrous area beneath anterior ocellus. Median frontal carina present only between antennal sockets, raised dorsally into a ridge. Upper face superficially foveate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, glabrous, and defined by weak carina laterally. Gena with a row of large foveae along eye margin, otherwise glabrous with sparse punctures and pubescence; lower face and clypeus foveate/punctate-reticulate; anterior tentorial pits distinct; clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a smoothly curved arch. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate medially and glabrous laterally. Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous, submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum densely punctate medially and glabrous laterally. Pronotum dorsomedially raised, distinctly higher than mesoscutum; pronotal crest gradually raised medially into a peak. Lateral pronotal carina weak, almost reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and pubescent. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present only along anterior third of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum flat dorsally and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided by a single median longitudinal carina. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; mesoscutellum broadly rounded posteriorly in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, glabrous, and transversely costate. Upper mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron glabrous and pubescent in ventral impression. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part, with a small elevated glabrous area medially, and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carinae percurrent, strongly curved laterally at middle, and strongly raised anterodorsally into a conspicuous, lobular process with dorsal pubescence; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina present anteriorly, and two submedian longitudinal carinae present behind submedial transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.7 times as long as wide and 1.5 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.33 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 slightly exposed; relative length of T3–7: 2.2:1.0:1.2:2.8:1.4; T3–4 glabrous; T5 finely densely punctate; T6 densely punctate with a band of sparse pubescence dorsolaterally; and T7 densely punctate with anterior band of of conspicuous pubescence dorsolaterally.
