glabrous, and pronotal crest medially distinctly<br />
raised with a narrow, distinct emargination.<br />
TYPE MATERIAL:<br />
HOLOTYPE: R, Russia:<br />
Irkutsk, B. Yakovlev coll. (ZISP).<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Russia: Irkutsk.<br />
Paramblynotus marginatus Liu and Kovalev,<br />
new species<br />
FEMALE:<br />
Length 4.0 mm. Body black<br />
almost entirely, only metasoma anteriorly<br />
and posteroventrally and legs dark brown.<br />
Wings transparent.<br />
Upper face longitudinally carinate laterally;<br />
antennal scrobe glabrous and densely<br />
punctate. Median frontal carina distinctly<br />
present between antennal sockets and diverging<br />
posteriorly to delimit a glabrous<br />
triangular area anterior to anterior ocellus.<br />
Lower face entirely foveate-rugose. Clypeopleurostomal<br />
sulcus and epistomal sulcus<br />
form a smoothly curved arch. Clypeus<br />
slightly raised medially, foveate-rugose, and<br />
pubescent anteriorly. Anterior tentorial pits<br />
distinct. Gena foveate-reticulate with dense<br />
pubescence. Vertex foveate-reticulate, and<br />
foveae set in rows between longitudinal<br />
carinae. Occiput glabrous; sparsely punctate<br />
with pubescence.<br />
Anterior flange <strong>of</strong> pronotum glabrous.<br />
Anterior plate <strong>of</strong> pronotum before lateral<br />
pronotal carinae glabrate and sparsely punctate<br />
with pubescence anteriorly, and mostly<br />
coarsely and densely punctate with pubescence.<br />
Pronotum dorsomedially strongly<br />
raised, slightly higher than <strong>the</strong> highest point<br />
<strong>of</strong> mesoscutum in lateral view. Pronotal crest<br />
distinctly raised and medially not emarginate.<br />
Lateral pronotal carina distinct, extending<br />
dorsomedially to nearly meet pronotal crest.<br />
Lateral surface <strong>of</strong> pronotum foveate-reticulate.<br />
Dorsal pronotal area transversely costate<br />
and complete to end <strong>of</strong> dorsal posterior<br />
margin <strong>of</strong> pronotum, but narrowed distinctly<br />
posteriorly. Mesoscutum foveate-reticulate<br />
with foveae set in rows between transverse<br />
costae. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate;<br />
sloping posterolaterally and strongly raised<br />
posteromedially, making dorsal surface <strong>of</strong><br />
mesoscutellum almost flat in lateral view.<br />
Mesopleural triangle distinctly depressed and<br />
pubescent. Upper mesopleuron glabrous except<br />
anteriorly punctate with pubescence;<br />
speculum glabrous. Longitudinal mesopleural<br />
impression percurrent with several<br />
more or less evenly distributed transverse<br />
costae. Lower mesopleuron glabrous with<br />
sparse pubescence. Metanotal-propodeal<br />
complex foveate-rugose with dense pubescence,<br />
except upper metepisternum glabrous.<br />
Lateral propodeal carina strongly curved<br />
laterally and medially indistinct; median<br />
propodeal area areolate-reticulate.<br />
Abdominal petiole 0.6 times as long as<br />
wide in lateral view. Relative length <strong>of</strong> T3–8:<br />
2:1:1.2:3.5:1:1. T4–8 densely finely punctate;<br />
T6–8 also with a few slightly larger setigerous<br />
punctures set in one or two rows. All legs<br />
densely punctate with pubescence except<br />
metacoxa dorsally glabrous. Metatibia apically<br />
with four slender, pointed teeth. 1mt/<br />
2–5mt 5 0.75.<br />
DIAGNOSIS: The new species is similar to<br />
P. pausatus, n.sp. but it can be easily<br />
distinguished by <strong>the</strong> following characters:<br />
pronotal crest medially not emarginate, gena<br />
glabrate posteriorly at lower part, and<br />
coarsely punctate elsewhere, and T6 about<br />
3.5 times as long as T4.<br />
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Russia:<br />
Primorsk, Kegrovaya, 1976-VIII-24, Storonseva<br />
coll. (ZISP).<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Russia: Primorsk.<br />
Paramblynotus pausatus Liu and Kovalev,<br />
new species<br />
FEMALE:<br />
Length 3.4 mm. Body black<br />
entirely, except antenna and legs dark<br />
brown. Wings transparent, slightly tinted<br />
yellow and more so in marginal and submarginal<br />
cells.<br />
Upper face asperous laterally; antennal<br />
scrobe densely punctate with scarce longitudinal<br />
carinae posteriorly. Median frontal<br />
carina distinctly present between antennal<br />
sockets and bifurcated posteriorly to delimit<br />
a glabrous triangular area anterior to anterior<br />
ocellus. A second carina parallel and<br />
laterad to <strong>the</strong> divergent carina is also present.<br />
Vertex foveate-reticulate. Lower face and<br />
clypeus entirely foveate-rugose. Clypeopleurostomal<br />
sulcus and epistomal sulcus<br />
form a smoothly curved arch. Anterior<br />
tentorial pits distinct. Gena foveate-rugose.
