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. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, Indonesia: Sumatra, Medan (NHRS). PARATYPES: 3RR. 1R, Malaysia, Selangor (rubber plantation), probably collected in 1951-IV as indicated by the number ‘‘2.007-4-51’’ on the collection label (NHM); 1R, Thailand: Tak Prov., Thung Thai (300 m), 1988-IV-27–V-6, M.J.D. Brendell coll. (NHM); 1R, Vietnam: Tokin, Hoabinh, 1918-8, R.V. de Salvaza coll. (NHM). DISTRIBUTION: Southeast Asia. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, ornatus, handsome. Paramblynotus cheni, new species FEMALE: Length 3.5 mm. Body entirely dark brown except metasoma ventrally and legs brown. Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised, foveate-reticulate, and defined laterally by weak carina. Median frontal carina simple, reaching to level of lower margin of eye. Upper face, including antennal scrobe, foveate to coarsely punctate; antennal scrobe slightly depressed, with longitudinal rugosity, and defined by carina laterally. Gena foveatereticulate. Lower face and clypeus foveatereticulate; anterior tentorial pits small. Lat-

Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous; submedian pronotal depressions separated from each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous, finely 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 almost to end of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus divided by a single median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveatereticulate; posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Axillar area without distinct pubescence. Mesopleural triangle pubescent, well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent and transversely costate; upper mesopleuron glabrous except finely punctate anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous, conspicuously depressed along ventral margin, and sparsely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part and pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent and raised throughout into a ridge; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina present prior to submedian transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.5 times as long as wide and slightly longer than submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 1.13 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 not exposed; relative length of T3–7: 2.0:1.0:1.3:2.0:1.1; T3–4 glabrous; T5–6 densely punctate; T7 densely punctate and with row of sparse pubescence anteriorly. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.72. Paramblynotus cheni is similar to P. isolatus, P. nipponensis, P. punctulatus, but it differs from the latter in the following charaters: antennal scrobe slightly depressed and with longitudinal rugosity; median frontal carina distinct and extended in lower face beyond the lower margin of eye; longitudinal mesopleural impression distinctly transversely costate; petiole longer than width; and T6 of female strongly expanded lateroventrally with posterior margin parallel with the posterior margin of T5. TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: R, China: Zhejiang, Tianmu Mt., Zhutuoling, 1964-VI- 11, L. Chen coll. (ZICA). DISTRIBUTION: Eastern China. ETYMOLOGY: This species is named after the collector Lutai Chen for his significant contribution to studies on Chinese Hymenoptera fauna. Paramblynotus hainanensis, new species MALE: Length 5.0 mm. Head and metasoma deeply dark brown, metasoma black, and antenna, legs brown, and metasoma ventrally light brown to brown. Forewing with a deep ferruginous macula covering marginal cell and the part of third cubital cell behind marginal cell. Antenna 14-segmented; flagellum filiform, F1 not sinuated. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised, foveate-reticulate, and defined laterally by weak carina lined with a row of foveae along interior side. Median frontal carina raised into a laminate process, which is triangular in lateral view, above antennal sockets, bifurcated to seclude a small, glabrous triangular area beneath anterior ocellus, and reaching to level of lower margin of eye. Upper face foveate laterally; antennal scrobe deeply depressed, mostly densely punctate, foveate posteriorly, and distinctly defined by carina laterally. Gena foveate-reticulate and punctate. Lower face punctate/foevate-reticulate; clypeus densely punctate and longitudinally carinate; clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus form a smoothly curved arch. Anterior tentorial pits small. Lateral occipital carina not reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous. Anterior flange of pronotum finely transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated from each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous, densely punctate dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially raised, but lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral
