Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and pubescent. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present along anterior third of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum mostly flat dorsally and slightly inclined anteriorly, and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate, broadly rounded posteriorly in dorsal view; lateral dorsal process distinct. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, glabrous, and with a few unevenly spaced, superficial transverse costae. Upper mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron glabrous and densely pubescent in ventral impression. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carinae percurrent, strongly curved laterally at middle, strongly raised anterodorsally, and flatted dorsally with coarse punctures; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina present anteriorly and absent behind submedian transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein, weak and nebulous toward base. Marginal cell 2.5 times as long as wide and 1.2 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.6 times as long as wide in lateral view.

Apical teeth of metatibia reduced, but distinctly slender and pointed apically. Apical protuberance of first metatarsomere reaching to middle of second metatarsomere. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus kitrinocarus is unique among all species of the punctulatus group by its color pattern, and it can be further distinguished from those species of the group that have a longitudinally carinate occiput by having (1) a simple, but percurrent median frontal carina, and (2) an exposed T8. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Malaysia: Sabah, Sipitang: Mendolong, 1988-V-11, S. Adebratt (ZMLU, 1996-089). DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo. ETYMOLOGY: From Greek, kitrino, red, and carus, head. The name refers to the orange color of the head in contrast to the black color of the rest of the body. Paramblynotus insolitus, new species FEMALE: Length 5.1 mm. Head, metasoma, coxa and femur of front and middle leg, and hindleg dark brown to black, mesosoma and antenna black. Wings entirely transparent. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.48. Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform, not widened apically. Vertex glabrous and finely punctate with pubescence. Eye extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate distinctly raised, glabrous and finely punctate with pubescence, and not defined laterally by carinae. Median frontal carina weakly present between antennal sockets. Upper face punctate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed and densely punctate and not defined by a lateral carina. Gena glabrous and finely punctate with pubescence; lower face and clypeus foveate and densely punctate with dense, appressed pubescence; anterior tentorial pits small but distinct; clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a superficial, smoothly curved arch. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput entirely glabrous, without medial longitudinal carination. Anterior flange of pronotum coarsely punctate, submedian pronotal depressions almost fused with each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrate and densely punctate with appressed pubescence. Pronotum raised dorsomedially; pronotal crest gradually raised medially into a peak as high as mesoscutum. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, present only in lower twothirds. Lateral surface of pronotum very densely pubescent entirely, foveate-reticulate in upper part and glabrous with dense, fine punctures in lower part. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present along anterior third of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum mostly flat dorsally and slightly inclined anteriorly, 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 trapezoidal posteriorly in dorsal view; lateral dorsal process distinct. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression reduced and glabrous. Upper mesopleuron glabrous and with short pubescence anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous and densely pubescent in ventral impression. Metepisternum superficially areolate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carinae percurrent, strongly and abruptly curved laterally and strongly raised dorsally to form in the middle a large triangular process, which is bent laterad dorsally and coarsely punctate with sparse pubescence on upper surface; median propodeal area glabrate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina present anteriorly and two short submedian longitudinal carinae present behind median 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. Petiole 0.5 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely covered by T7; relative size of abdominal T3–7:1.8:1.0:1.1: 2.6:1.3; T3–5 sparsely punctate with fine pubescence; T6 densely punctate with a broad middle transverse band of dense pubescence dorsolaterally; T7 very densely punctate with
