fifth; T5 glabrous and finely punctate; T6
finely and densely punctate dorsolaterally,
and with a narrow band of sparse pubescence
in the middle; and T7 densely punctate
entirely, with a band of dense pubescence
dorsolaterally in the middle. Apical teeth of
metatibia slender and pointed apically. Metatibia
with two to three dorsal (posterior)
dents. Apical protuberance of first metatarsomere
reaching to distal two-thirds of
second metatarsomere.
MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus coracinus is most similar to
P. lutepennis and P. obscurus, but it can be
easily distinguished from the latter two by the
ferruginous mark on forewing.
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Malaysia:
Negri S.: Posah Forest Reserve (Forest
gap), 1979-II-28, P. and M. Becker coll.
(AEI). PARATYPES: 3RR, locality and collectors
as holotype, 1978-XII-3–1979-II-18
(AEI: 2; CFR: 1).
DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo.
ETYMOLOGY: From New Latin, coracinus,
meaning crowlike. The name refers to
the entirely dark body color of the species.
Paramblynotus grossus, new species
FEMALE:
Length 6.0–8.0 mm. Body, antenna,
and legs entirely black. Wings transparent;
forewing with a rectangular macula
along the middle of anterior margin, covering
marginal cell, distal third of first submarginal
cell, and basal part of second submarginal
cell anteriorly. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.
Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform,
not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate.
Eye not extended laterally, outer margin
of gena expanded much beyond outer margin
of eyes. Ocellar plate distinctly raised and
foveate and not defined laterally by carina.
Median frontal carina briefly but strongly
present between antennal sockets. Upper face
rugose-foveate/punctate laterally; antennal
scrobe distinctly depressed and coarsely
punctate with distinct pubescence, longitudinally
carinate posteriorly, and distinctly defined
by carina laterally. Gena glabrate, and
foveate and punctate with sparse pubescence;
lower face and clypeus foveate and densely
punctate with apparent transverse costate
component and appressed pubescence; anterior
tentorial pits distinct; clypeo-pleurostomal
sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a superficial
trapezoid. Lateral occipital carina
reaching to middle height of gena. Occiput
longitudinally carinate medially and glabrous
laterally.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous;
submedian pronotal depressions separated
medially; anterior pronotal plate glabrous
medially and otherwise finely densely punctate
with appressed pubescence (especially so
laterally). Pronotum raised dorsomedially;
pronotal crest gradually raised medially into
a peak higher than mesoscutum. Lateral
pronotal carinae distinct, present in lower
two-thirds of posterior margin of anterior
pronotal plate. Lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate with transversely costate
components, and distinctly pubescent. Dorsal
pronotal area glabrate, present along anterior
third of posterior margin of pronotum.
Mesoscutum almost flat dorsally and transversely
costate with superficial foveae set in
rows and with sparse, evenly distributed
appressed pubescence. Scutellar sulcus divided
only by a median longitudinal carina.
Pubescence of axillar area distinct but not
conspicuous. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate;
mesoscutellum broadly rounded posteriorly
in dorsal view; lateral dorsal process not
apparent in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle
conspicuously pubescent and well defined
ventrally by smoothly curved carina. Median
mesopleural impression percurrent and glabrous.
Upper mesopleuron glabrous; lower
mesopleuron also with dense pubescence in
ventral impression. Metepisternum areolatereticulate
to rugose in upper part, conspicuously
pubescent ventrally, and with an
elevated, glabrous median area. Lateral
propodeal carinae percurrent, nearly parallel
to each other, and strongly raised dorsally to
form in middle a distinct triangular process;
median propodeal area areolate with sparse
pubescence; median longitudinal and transverse
carinae hardly distinguishable from
ridges of areolate structure. Rs+M of forewing
nebulous in basal third, arising from
middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.1 times
as long as wide and 1.1 times as long as
submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.
Petiole 0.45 times as long as wide in lateral
view. Tergum 8 completely covered by T7;
