types from Khabalovsk have no collection
date.
A female paratype from Irkusk is a misidentification
and is described in the present
paper as a new species, Paramblynotus
irkutensis.
Paramblynotus atratus Liu and Kovalev,
new species
figures 30–37
FEMALE: Length 3.5–4.0 mm. Body
black entirely except legs dark brown. Wings
transparent.
Upper face including antennal scrobes
distinctly carinate longitudinally; ocellar
plate foveate-reticulate. Median frontal carina
present, distinct from below anterior
ocellus to somewhat beyond lower margins
of antennal sockets, and bifurcated posteriorly
to delimit a small glabrous triangular
area anterior to anterior ocellus. Lower face
entirely foveate-reticulate and slightly rugose
(fig. 30). Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and
epistomal sulcus form a smoothly curved
arch; clypeus foveate-rugose. Gena foveate
with sparse pubescence. Vertex distinctly
longitudinally carinate with foveae. Occiput
glabrous (fig. 31).
Anterior flange of pronotum punctatefoveate.
Anterior plate of pronotum before
lateral pronotal carinae densely foveate with
pubescence. Lateral pronotal carina distinct
posteroventrally. Lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate (fig. 35). Median pronotal
crest indistinct and medially not or very
slightly emarginate. Dorsal pronotal area
transversely costate and complete to end of
dorsal posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum
foveate-reticulate with foveae set in
rows between distinct transverse costae
(fig. 35). Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate;
sloping posterolaterally with a posteromedial
hump (figs. 34, 35). Mesopleural triangle
distinctly depressed and pubescent. Upper
mesopleuron glabrous except anteriormost
part punctate; speculum glabrous. Longitudinal
mesopleural impression percurrent with
several irregularly distributed transverse costae.
Lower mesopleuron glabrous with sparse
pubescence. Metanotal-propodeal complex
foveate-rugose, glabrous in upper metepisternum
and an upper part of lower metepisternum
and densely pubescent below. Lateral
propodeal carina percurrent and medially
distinctly curved laterally; median propodeal
area areolate-reticulate, with median longitudinal
carina bifurcated posteriorly at anterior
third (fig. 34).
Abdominal petiole half as long as wide in
lateral view. Relative length of T3–8:
1.8:1:1.3:3:1:0.8. T5–8 densely finely punctate;
T6–8 also with a few slightly larger
setigerous punctures. All legs, except metacoxa,
dorsally glabrous, densely punctate
with pubescence. Metatibia apically with four
pointed teeth. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.70.
The new species is similar to P. irkutensis
but it can be easily distinguished by having
antennal scrobes at least partly carinate
posteriorly and pronotal crest medially not
emarginate.

Paramblynotus belizini, new species
FEMALE: Length 5.0 mm. Head and
mesosoma black; antenna, legs, and metasoma
brown. Wings transparent.
Upper face distinctly longitudinally carinate
except lower part of antennal scrobes
glabrate. Median frontal carina distinctly
present until middle of lower face. Lower
face foveate-reticulate except foveate-rugose
laterally. Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and
epistomal sulcus form a smoothly curved
arch; clypeus foveate with sparse pubescence.
Gena glabrate-foveate. Vertex entirely longitudinally
carinate. Occiput glabrous and
sparsely punctate with pubescence.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous.
Anterior plate of pronotum before lateral
pronotal carinae glabrate with dense setigerous
punctures set in rows. Lateral pronotal
carina distinct, except dorsomedially. Lateral
surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate. Median
pronotal crest slightly raised medially,
medially with a small but distinct emargina-
