brown. Forewing mostly smoky; marginal
cell, first discoidal cell, and area interior to
basal vein light yellow; hindwing smoky
distally and light yellow proximally.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform.
Vertex glabrous and sparsely foveate. Eye
prominent and distinctly extended laterally
beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate
not distinctly raised, glabrate and sparsely
foveate-punctate, and defined laterally by
weak carina. Median frontal carina very
briefly present above antennal sockets. Upper
face foveate laterally; antennal scrobe
glabrous and finely punctate, deeply depressed,
and well defined by carina laterally.
Gena glabrous and very sparsely punctate.
Lower face and clypeus punctate-reticulate
and sparsely foveate; clypeus anterior to
submedian transverse inflexion glabratepunctate.
Anterior tentorial pits small. Lateral
occipital carina not reaching vertex.
Occiput glabrous.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous;
submedian pronotal depressions separated
from each other medially. Anterior plate of
pronotum glabrous, only punctate dorsomedially.
Pronotum dorsomedially raised,
slightly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal
crest not raised medially. Lateral pronotal
carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially.
Lateral surface of pronotum
foveate-reticulate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate,
present along anterior half of posterior
margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum arched
dorsally and foveate-reticulate, with foveae
set in rows between transverse costae. Scutellar
sulcus divided by a median longitudinal
carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate;
posterior margin rounded in dorsal view.
Axillar area without distinct pubescence.
Mesopleural triangle well defined ventrally
by a smoothly curved carina and glabrate
with sparse pubescence. Median mesopleural
impression percurrent, not transversely costate
medially; upper and lower mesopleuron
glabrous; lower mesopleuron conspicuously
depressed along ventral margin and sparsely
pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum glabrous,
areolate-reticulate in upper part and
pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina
percurrent and distinctly directed toward
outside posteriorly and raised throughout
into a conspicuous ridge; median propodeal
area glabrate; median longitudinal carina
present prior to submedian transverse carina.
Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of
basal vein; basal vein nebulous. Marginal cell
3.6 times as long as wide and 1.7 times as
long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1
absent.
Petiole 0.47 times as long as wide in lateral
view. Tergum 8 slightly exposed; relative
length of T3–8: 2.5:1.0:1.4:4.8:2.3:0.6; T3–5
glabrous; T6 mostly glabrous and punctate
dorsomedially; T7 densely punctate and
dorsolaterally coarsely punctate/foveate with
pubescence. Apical teeth of metatibia long,
slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5
0.78.
MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus ornatus is similar to P.
miltocephalus, but it differs from the latter
readily by its entirely yellow color of body
and the largely smoky wings.
