2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 129
relative size of abdominal T3–7: 2.0:1.0:2.0.
:2.4:1.5; T3–4 glabrous; T5 glabrous and
finely punctate; T6 finely and densely punctate
dorsolaterally and with a narrow band of
sparse pubescence in the middle; T7 punctate
with pubescence dorsolaterally in anterior
third. Apical teeth of metatibia slender and
pointed apically. Metatibia with two to three
dorsal (posterior) dents. Apical process of
first metatarsomeres reaching to middle of
second metatarsomere.
MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus grossus differs from all
other species of the punctulatus group except
P. venoforticulus, n.sp. by the presence of
a rectangular macula along the middle of
anterior margin of forewing. It differs from
P. venoforticulus by its conspicuously expanded
gena behind eye. The combination of
robust shape, big size, and entirely black
body color also make the identification of the
species easy.

Paramblynotus fucosus, new species
FEMALE:
Length 4.2 mm. Body, antenna,
and legs entirely black. Wings transparent,
without any marking. 1mt/2–5mt
5 0.
Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform,
not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate
with distinct longitudinally carinate
component. Eye expanded laterally, slightly
beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate
distinctly raised, glabrate and longitudinally
carinate, and defined laterally by carina.
Median frontal carina distinct between antennal
sockets. Upper face longitudinally
carinate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly
depressed and distinctly defined by carina
laterally, longitudinally carinate lateroposteriorly,
and glabrous anterorly. Gena glabrous
and finely punctate, and with dense pubescence
in posterior upper part; lower face and
clypeus glabrate with fine longitudinal carination
and finely punctate with dense
appressed pubescence; anterior tentorial pits
small and distinct; clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus
and epistomal sulcus form a superficial
trapezoid. Lateral occipital carina not reaching
vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate
medially and glabrous laterally.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous;
submedian pronotal depressions separated
medially; anterior pronotal plate glabrous
medially and finely densely punctate with
appressed pubescence (more so laterally).
Pronotum raised dorsomedially; pronotal
crest gradually raised medially into a peak,
slightly not as high as mesoscutum. Lateral
pronotal carina indistinct, present in lower
two-thirds along posterior margin of anterior
pronotal plate. Lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate with weak transverse costae,
and distinctly pubescent in upper half,
and glabrous and finely punctate ventrally.
Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present along
anterior two-thirds of posterior margin of
pronotum. Mesoscutum almost flat dorsally,
except slightly inclined anteriorly, and transversely
costate with superficial foveae set in
rows and with sparse, evenly distributed
appressed pubescence. Scutellar sulcus divided
by a median longitudinal carina.
Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence.
Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate and broadly
rounded posteriorly in dorsal view; lateral
dorsal process indistinct in dorsal view.
Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent
with a narrow, hairless strip above the
