slightly ferruginous with marginal and submarginal
cells of forewings darker.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform.
Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent,
distinctly extended laterally beyond outer
margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised,
densely, coarsely punctate, and not defined
laterally by carina. Median frontal carina
weakly present above antennal sockets.
Upper face entirely punctate-foveate except
antennal scrobe somewhat longitudinally
carinate posteriorly; antennal scrobe slightly
depressed and defined by carina laterally.
Lower face foveate-punctate with transverse
rugosity. Anterior tentorial pits distinct.
Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal
sulcus indistinct. Clypeus longitudinally carinate
and punctate posteriorly, transversely
carinate medially, and glabrate-punctate anteriorly.
Gena glabrate and punctate-foveate.
Lateral occipital carina reaching vertex.
Occiput glabrous.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous.
Anterior plate of pronotum glabrate, densely
punctate with fine pubescence. Submedian
pronotal depressions separated far apart
medially. Pronotum dorsomedially distinctly
raised, but lower than mesoscutum; pronotal
crest medially gradually raised into median
peak. Lateral pronotal carina distinct and
extended to reach pronotal crest dorsomedially.
Lateral surface of pronotum punctatefoveate
with oblique carinate component
posteromedially. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate,
reaching to one-third of posterior
margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum slightly
arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate with
foveae set in rows between transverse costae.
Scutellar sulcus divided by median longitudinal
carina and two submedian carinae;
mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate, with posterior
margin rounded in dorsal view. Mesopleural
triangle well defined ventrally by
a smoothly curved carina, with conspicuous
white pubescence. Median mesopleural impression
percurrent, distinctly transversely
costate; upper mesopleuron glabrous mostly
except finely, densely punctate anteriorly;
lower mesopleuron entirely glabrate and
pubescent, and bordered by a distinct,
straight carina ventrally. Metepisternum longitudinally
costate and devoid of pubescence
in upper part, conspicuously pubescent ventrally.
Propodeum areolate-reticulate; lateral
propodeal carina percurrent and curved
medially; median propodeal area glabrate,
median longitudinal carina present only
anterior to median transverse carina. Nucha
glarous. Rs+M of forewing arising from
middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.3 times
as long as wide,and 1.5 times as long as
submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.
Abdominal petiole 0.3 times as long as
wide in lateral view, lateroposterior margin
broadly angular. Relative length of T3–8:
2.0:1.0:1.0:3.7:1.0:0.7; T3–5 glabrous; T6
glabrous anteriorly with a band of sparse
pubescence, T7 with a medial band of sparse
pubescence in punctures and densely and
finely punctate posteriorly; T8 with a band of
dense pubescence. Legs, particularly metatibia
and metatarsomeres, densely pubescent.
Apical teeth of metatibia short, stout, and
blunt apically.1mt/2–5mt 5 0.80.
MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus badius differs from all other
species of the ruficollis group in having its
pronotum anteromedially raised into gradual,
rather conspicuous peak. The species can
be further separated from the most similar
species, P. trisectus, by having pronotum and
mesothorax dark.
TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Sarawak,
Mt. Dulit (1,000 ft, Moss Forest),
1932-X-16, native leg. (NHM).
DISTRIBUTION: Indonesia: Borneo.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, coruscus, badius,
brown or chestnut-colored. The name
refers to its slightly ferruginous wings.
Paramblynotus coruscus, new species
FEMALE:
Length 5.0 mm. Body entirely
black; antenna dark brown; legs red brown.
Wings clear. Head and lateral pronotum very
densely pubescent; anterior two-thirds of
mesopleural triangle and lower part of
metepisternum with conspicuous, long silvery
pubescence.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform.
Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye distinctly extended
laterally beyond outer margin of gena.
Ocellar plate distinctly raised, glabratefoveate,
and not defined laterally by carina.
Median frontal carina weakly, briefly present
posterior to antennal sockets. Upper face,
