124 BULLETIN AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY NO. 304 conspicuous pubescence anteriorly and glabrous posteriorly. Apical teeth of metatibia reduced but distinctly slender and pointed apically. Apical process of first metatarsomere reaching to middle of second metatarsomere. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus insolitus differs from all other Paramblynotus species in possession of the combination of several characters: (1) pronotum anterodorsally raised conspicuously into a peak, (2) first metatarsomere with apical protuberance, and (3) occiput glabrous. In addition, this species is also unique in having upper face, vertex, and gena entirely glabrous with fine punctures, lower part of lateral surface of pronotum glabrous with dense, fine punctures, and mesopleural impression only superficially present, especially posteriorly. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Philippines: Mindoro: S. Luis Calapan, 1954-IV- 14, H.M. and D. Townes coll. (AEI). DISTRIBUTION: Philippines: Mindoro. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, distinctus, meaning different. Paramblynotus robustus, new species FEMALE: Length 6.0 mm. Body, antenna, and legs entirely black except eyes orange. Wings transparent. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0. Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform, not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate with pubescence. Eye extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate distinctly raised and foveate, with a row of large foveae along sides, and laterally not defined by carina. Median frontal carina weakly and very briefly present above antennal sockets. Upper face foveate-reticulate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed and densely punctate with pubescence, and not defined by carina laterally. Gena foveatereticulate with dense, appressed pubescence; lower face and clypeus foveate and densely punctate with dense, appressed pubescence; anterior tentorial pits small and distinct; clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a superficial, smoothly curved arch. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate medially and glabrous laterally. Anterior flange of pronotum finely transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated from 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 slightly higher than mesoscutum. Lateral pronotal carinae distinct, not reaching pronotal crest dorsally. Lateral surface of pronotum very densely pubescent, foveatereticulate and densely punctate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present 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 foveatereticulate; mesoscutellum broadly rounded posteriorly and slightly truncate apically in dorsal view; lateral dorsal process distinct. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent and glabrous with a few unevenly spaced transvers costae. Upper mesopleuron glabrous and with short pubescence anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous and densely pubescent above and in ventral impression. Metepisternum 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 triangular process with top bent laterad; upper side of the process coarsely punctate with sparse pubescence; median propodeal area glabrate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina present anteriorly and two submedian longitudinal carinae present behind median transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing nebulous and brownish, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.9 times as long as wide and 1.4 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.35 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely covered by T7; relative size of abdominal T3–7: 2.1:1.0:1.2: 2.1:1.0; T3 glabrous, T4–5 densely punctate without pubescence; T6 densely and coarsely punctate with a broad median transverse

Apical teeth of metatibia distinctly slender and pointed apically. Apical protuberance of first metatarsomere reaching to middle of second metatarsomere. MALE: Unknown. This species is very similar to P. grossus, but it differs from the latter in (1) forewing without macula and (2) gena not expanded behind eye. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Laos: Ban Van Heue (20 km east of Phou-kowkuei), 1965-IV-15–31, Native Collector coll. (BPBM). DISTRIBUTION: Laos. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, robustus, strong. Paramblynotus miniatus, new species FEMALE: Length 2.5 mm. Head and mesosoma black. Antenna, metasoma, and legs brown to dark brown. Wings transparent. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.53. Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform, not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate only slightly raised and glabrate with sparse punctures and superficial foveae, and not defined laterally by carina. Median frontal carina weakly and very briefly present above antennal sockets. Upper face rugose-foveate/punctate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed and glabrous with sparse punctures, and defined by very weak carina laterally. Gena glabrous and superficially foveate with sparse, appressed pubescence; lower face and clypeus glabrate and densely punctate/foveate with appressed pubescence; anterior tentorial pits small and distinct; clypeopleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a superficial, smoothly curved arch. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate medially and glabrous laterally. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrate and densely punctate with appressed pubescence. Pronotum raised dorsomedially; pronotal crest gradually raised medially into a peak distinctly higher than mesoscutum. Lateral pronotal carinae distinct, not reaching pronotal crest dorsally. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate with sparse pubescence. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present along anterior one-fifth of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum flat dorsally and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided only by a median longitudinal carina. Axillar area with distinct pubescence. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; mesoscutellum broadly rounded posteriorly in dorsal view; lateral dorsal process indistinct. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent and glabrous. Upper mesopleuron glabrous with short pubescence anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous with dense pubescence in ventral impression. Metepisternum areolate in upper part, with a large central elevated glabrous area, and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carinae percurrent, strongly curved laterally and distinctly raised dorsally to form in the middle a broadly rounded process with sparse pubescence dorsally; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina present anterior to median transverse carina and absent posteriorly. Rs+M of forewing pale, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.4 times as long as wide and 1.3 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 0.40 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely covered by T7; relative size of abdominal T3–7: 2.3:1.0:1.4: 2.9:1.7; T3–5 glabrous; T6 and T7 densely and finely punctate, each with a single row of pubescence dorsolaterally in the middle. Apical teeth of metatibia slender and pointed apically. Metatibia with two dorsal (posterior) dents. Apical protuberance of first metatarsomere reaching to middle of second metatarsomere. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus miniatus differs from all other species of the genus except P. nebulosus in having metatibia dorsally with dents. It differs from the latter in (1) forewing without a broad dark gray band along outer margin; (2) upper metepisternum with a large, gla-
