2007 LIU ET AL.: REVISION OF PARAMBLYNOTUS (HYMENOPTERA) 77 – Pronotum anteromedially raised into gradual, ra<strong>the</strong>r conspicuous peak. Pronotum and mesothorax dark . . . . . . . . P. badius, n.sp. 7. Vertex, especially medially, coarsely punctate. Pronotal crest raised into two prominent, separate, triangular, submedian processes. Lateral sides <strong>of</strong> posterior part <strong>of</strong> mesoscutellum strongly raised, smoothly continuous with dorsal lateral process anteriorly (fig. 50). Petiole almost as long as wide. Forewing with a broad smoky band along outer margin. Tergum 6 <strong>of</strong> female with tip reaching as far T7 posteriorly, dorsal margin evenly, moderately curved posteriorly and posterior margin distinctly concave (fig.53) ........... P. braziliensis, n.sp. – Vertex glabrous with sparse punctures. Submedian processes <strong>of</strong> pronotal crest indistinct. Lateral sides <strong>of</strong> posterior part <strong>of</strong> mesoscutellum not strongly raised, abruptly narrowed behind dorsal lateral process. Petiole about twice as long as wide. Forewing without smoky band along outer margin. Tergum 6 <strong>of</strong> female distinctly not reaching as far as T7, dorsal margin abruptly curved posteriorly, and posterior margin almost straight. . . . 8 8. Lateral sides <strong>of</strong> pronotum largely glabrous. Gena glabrous entirely. Mesoscutellum posteriorly with a deep, broad triangular emargination.......... P. costaricanus, n.sp. – Lateral sides <strong>of</strong> pronotum entirely foveatereticulate. Gena sculptured. Mesoscutellum posteriorly with a shallow, smoothly curved emargination. . . . . . P. zonatus Weld, 1944 Paramblynotus ruficollis Cameron, 1909 Paramblynotus ruficollis Cameron, 1909: 18, R; Borneo; NHM (4 TR, no. 7.9 and in main coll.). *ruficeps Kieffer, 1914: 186, ; Luzon; USNM (HTR, not numbered). 5 P. ruficollis Cameron; synonymy by Weld (1930: 137). FEMALE: Length 6.5–9.0 mm. Head, pronotum, and foreleg orange; antenna and rest <strong>of</strong> body, and middle and hindlegs black. Wings lightly ferruginous with marginal and submarginal cells <strong>of</strong> forewings darker. Vertex foveate; gena glabrous with sparse fine punctures. Ocellar plate well defined by lateral carina. Antennal scrobe glabrous with fine punctures. Median frontal carina absent in lower face. Pronotal crest medially raised into a very distinct, apically rounded triangular process. Lateral surface <strong>of</strong> pronotum foveate, with sparse punctures. Mesoscutum transversely carinate with foveae in between. Mesoscutellum raised posteriorly. Lateral propodeal carina raised throughout, rightangled anteriorly in lateral view. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.96. The species is distinguished from all o<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r species <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ruficollis group for its large body size, as well as its red head and pronotum in contrast <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> its body, which is shining black. Additional characters to distinguish <strong>the</strong> species include sculptures on vertex, genae, and lateral sides <strong>of</strong> pronotum. MALE: Length 4.0–7.0 mm, o<strong>the</strong>rwise similar to female. MATERIAL EXAMINED: NHM: 6 (1T); AEI: 1; NNMN: 2; BPBM: 3. DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo; Laos; Philippines: Luzon. Paramblynotus malayensis (Weld, 1922) Allocynips malayensis Weld, 1922: 329, R=; Borneo; USNM (HTR, no. 24 377, 1 PTR, 2PT=). Paramblynotus malayensis, combination by Weld (1930: 137). FEMALE: Length 4.0 mm. Body and legs entirely dark brown except tibiae and tarsomeres <strong>of</strong> legs yellow to yellow brown. Wings mostly clear except marginal cell <strong>of</strong> forewing and neighboring areas somewhat ferruginous. Vertex foveate-reticulate; gena glabrous with foveae and punctures. Ocellar plate laterally not defined by a carina; antennal scrobes fine, densely punctate. Median front carina very distinct, extending to clypeus in lower face. Pronotal crest medially not raised into a triangular process. Mesoscutellum not raised posteriorly. Lateral propodeal carina not distinctly raised in lateral view. 1mt/2– 5mt 5 0.76. The species is easily separated from <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r species <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> group ruficollis for its small size and its median frontal carina complete in lower face. MATERIAL EXAMINED: USNM1 (1T). DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia: Borneo, Sandakan. Paramblynotus badius, new species FEMALE: Length 4.5 mm. Body, antenna, and hindleg entirely black to dark brown; fore- and middle legs yellow brown. Wings
