Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Apical teeth of metatibia long and pointed apically. (Abdomen lost.) MALE: Unknown. The species can be easily separated from P. friatus, the only othe other species of the species group, using the above key. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Russia: Primorsk (20 km from Spassk), 1984-IX-6, collected by Belokobylskij coll. (ZISP). DISTRIBUTION: Russia: Primorsk. ETYMOLOGY: From Greek, apios, far away, and eos, East. The name is an arbitrarily shortened version of the composite word. Paramblynotus friatus Liu and Kovalev, new species FEMALE: Length 4.0 mm.

Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput longitudinally carinate. Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrate, finely densely punctate with fine pubescence. Pronotum dorsomedially distinctly raised, but with peak distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest medially raised into a small median process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct and extended to almost reach pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum punctate-foveate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, reaching to end of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum almost flat dorsally except slightly depressed anteriorly, and discontinuously transversely costate with distinct foveae set in between. Scutellar sulcus divided by median longitudinal carina; mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina, densely punctate with conspicuous white pubescence in anterior half and sparsely pubescent in posterior half. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, turned smoothly to lower mesopleuron posteriorly, and distinctly transversely costate; mesopleuron with a broad transverse depression anteriorly; upper mesopleuron glabrous and with scattered punctures posteriorly. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate, devoid of pubescence in upper part, and densely pubescent ventrally. Propodeum areolatereticulate; lateral propodeal carina percurrent and strongly curved medially; median propodeal area glabrate with a complete median longitudinal carina crossed by an anterior transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.0 times as long as wide and 1.5 times as long as submarginal cell. Marginal cell 3.0 times as long as wide and

Relative length of T3–7: 2.3:1.0:1.5:2.7:1.4; T3–4 glabrous; T5 glabrous anteriorly and very finely punctate posteriorly, T6–7 densely punctate, each with a band of sparse pubescence; T8 completely covered by T7. Apical teeth of metatibia long and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.85. MALE: Unknown. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Russia: Primorsk (Shkotovsk), 1975-VII-22, collected by Krivagutzkaya coll. (ZISP). The species can be separated from P. apeosus, the only othe other species of the species group, using the above key. DISTRIBUTION: Russia: Primorsk. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, fretus, trusting to. No particular reference, just personal caprice of the authors. RUFICOLLIS GROUP figures 45–63 The ruficollis group is mainly distributed in the Oriental region with a terminal clade comprising three species from the Neotropical region. DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS: Body size median to relatively large. Antenna filiform. Female antenna has 13 segments with F1 distinctly or slightly shorter than F2. All flagellomeres have placodes; placodes short, not as long as the flagellomeres, and are usually densely, but relatively sparsely in the Neotropical species, distributed on each medial to distal segment. Male antenna has 14 segments, F1 almost cylindrical, only very slightly depressed on ventral side. Median frontal carina generally lacking in lower face. Occiput glabrous, occasionally coriarious. Lateral pronotal carinae not reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral sides of pronotum foveate to foveate-reticulate, with or without secondary transverse costae, and not separated by the extended, less sculptured anterior surface. Pronotal crest raised dorsomedially into a small, distinct process or two submedian processes. Mesoscutum predominantly transversely carinate with more or less obvious foveae in between. Mesoscutellum flat or slightly sloped posteriorly, and foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus always divided into more than two foveae by several subequally strong longitudinal carinae. Axillar area with conspicuous hair tuft. Upper mesopleural area glabrous. Median mesopleural impression medially bent, wider and deeper toward ends. Metepisternum divided into several longitudinal impressions by several strong longitudinal carinae. Dorsoapical dents of metatibia short and blunt; first metatarsomere without apical protuberance. T7 of female with posterior margin curved dorsolaterally, distinctly exposing T8. T6–8 with more or less coarse punctures with hairs. Post petiolar terga of male subequal to each other.
