64 BULLETIN AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY NO. 304 punctures; T6 glabrous with a few punctures anteriorly and finely punctate posteriorly; T7 punctate with a row of sparse setigerous punctures. T8 completely covered by T7. Front and middle legs sparsely punctate with pubescence; hindlegs sparsely punctate with pubescence except metacoxa glabrous dorsally and metatibia and metatarsomeres densely punctate with pubescence. Apical teeth of metatibia small, thin, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.56. MALE: Unknown. Paramblynotus kekenboschi is similar to P. zairensis, but it can be easily separated from the latter by (1) lateral surface of pronotum longitudinally costate in lower part; (2) lateral propodeal carina distinctly present anteriorly, posterior half of median propodeal area entirely longitudinally carinate; and (3) nucha dorsally longitudinally carinate. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Zaire (P.N.A.): Massif Ruwenzori Kalonge (2,130 m), River Kiondo, aff. Butahu, 1952- VII-31, P. Vanschuytbroeck and J. Kekenbosch coll. (NHM). PARATYPE: 1R, Zaire (P.N.A.): Massif Ruwenzori Kalonge (2,010 m), River Nyamwamba, aff. Butahu, 1953-II-2, P. Vanschuytbroeck and J. Kekenbosch coll. (NHM). DISTRIBUTION: Zaire.

Median frontal carina absent or weakly present in upper half of lower face. Lower face heavily foveate-reticulate with pubescence. Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus almost form an arch. Clypeus rugose anteriorly and foevate-reticulate posteriorly. Gena foveate-rugose with long pubescence. Lateral occipital carina very developed. Occiput glabrous. Anterior flange of pronotum finely longitudinally carinate. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and sparsely punctate anteriorly, and coarsely punctate posteriorly. Pronotum dorsomedially not distinctly raised; pronotal crest medially not raised into a process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, meeting pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveatereticulate except ventral one-fourth longitudinally carinate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrous, only visible until anterior fourth of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum distinctly arched dorsally and strongly foveate-reticulate with indistinct transverse costae. Scutellar sulcus divided by a single median longitudinal carina; mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate and sloped posteriorly; posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle ventrally well defined by smoothly curved carina and with white pubescence. Upper mesopleuron, including speculum, glabrous; median longitudinal impression percurrent with evenly distributed, reduced transverse carinae; lower mesopleuron glabrous and pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum foveate-reticulate and nude above, with a small elevated glabrous area medially, and pubescent ventrally. Propodeum areolate-reticulate; lateral propodeal carina percurrent and not obviously curved. Median propodeal area glabrate and sparsely punctate; median longitudinal carina percurrent and with a transverse carina anteriorly. Rs+M of forewing distinct and yellow, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.7 times as long as wide. Bulla on Sc+R 1 weakly present. Abdominal petiole 0.7 times as long as wide in lateral view and glabrate dorsally. Relative length of T3–7: 1.6:1.0:1.0:4.0:1.1; T3–5 glabrous; T6 glabrous except for
2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 65 setigerous punctures in a row; T7 punctate with a few setigerous punctures in a row. T8 slightly exposed beneath T7. Front and middle legs sparsely punctate with pubescence; hindlegs sparsely punctate with pubescence except metacoxa dorsally glabrous and metatibia and metatarsomeres densely punctate with pubescence. Apical teeth of metatibia small, thin, and pointed apically. 1mt/2– 5mt 5 0.55. MALE: Length 2.2–3.0 mm. Antenna 14- segmented. Tergum 5 expanded both dorsally and ventrally, but more so ventrally. Paramblynotus jacksoni is similar to P. cameroonenesis and P. rwandensis, but it differs from the latter two species in (1) median frontal carina not distinctly extending in lower face, (2) head and mesosoma black, and (3) Rs and Rs+M veins of forewing distinct and brown. It further differs from P. cameroonenesis in having longer petiole, and from P. rwandensis in having median propodeal area glabrate. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Cameroon: Nkoemvon, 1980-XI-2–XII-13, D. Jackson coll. (NHM). PARATYPES: 4RR, 2==: 1=, 1978-IX–XI, other data same as holotype (NHM); 1R, 1979-VII–VIII, and 3RR, 1=, 1980-XI–XII, other data same as holotype (NHM). DISTRIBUTION: Cameroon. BIOLOGY: Collection label reads (collected along) ‘‘forest path’’, otherwise unknown. ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after the collector. Paramblynotus carinatus, new species FEMALE: Length 3.2 mm. Body entirely dark brown; legs yellow. Wings clear. Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum not distinctly thicker apically; median flagellomeres constricted proximally and apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate with distinct longitudinal carinate component. Eye prominent, distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate raised and defined laterally by a carina; lateral carina of ocellar plate meeting medially above antennal sockets and lined by a row of irregular foveae along interior side; ocellar plate foveate; median frontal carina distinct in lower face, reaching to epistomal sulcus and bifurcated posteriorly to delimit a glabrous triangular area beneath anterior ocellus. Upper face glabrate laterally and antennal scrobes glabrous; antennal scrobe defined by carina laterally. Lower face coarsely foveate-reticulate with pubescence. Anterior tentorial pits distinct. Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus almost form a smoothly curved arch. Clypeus longitudinally carinate anteriorly, glabrous in the middle, and foveate-rugose posteriorly. Gena coarsely foveate-rugose. Lateral occipital carina almost meeting eye dorsally. Occiput glabrous. Anterior flange of pronotum glabrate. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and sparsely punctate anteriorly. Pronotum dorsomedially not distinctly raised; pronotal crest medially not raised into a process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, meeting pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate dorsolaterally and longitudinally carinate lateroventrally. Dorsal pronotal area glabrous, reaching end of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum distinctly arched dorsally and foveatereticulate with indistinct transverse costae. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina and two submedian longitudinal carinae; mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate and sloped posteriorly; posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle ventrally well defined by smoothly curved carina and with white pubescence. Upper mesopleuron, including speculum, glabrous; median longitudinal impression percurrent with evenly distributed transverse carinae; lower mesopleuron glabrous and pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum foveate-reticulate and nude above, with an elevated glabrous area medially, and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Propodeum areolate-reticulate; lateral propodeal carina percurrent and distinctly curved medially. Median propodeal area glabrate to rugulose; median longitudinal carina percurrent, a transverse carina present anteriorly, and two submedian longitudinal carinae present posterior to transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.4 times as long as wide. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Abdominal petiole 0.6 times as long as wide in lateral view and glabrate dorsally.
