Paramblynotus angolensis , new species

FEMALE: Length 2.1 mm. Head and mesosoma black and metasoma and hindlegs dark bown. Antennae yellow with distal two segments black. Forewing with a wide ferruginous band across middle third and clear both basally and distally. Hindwing ferruginous aross central half. Fore- and middle legs brown to yellow brown.

Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum gradually expanded apically; median flagellomeres not constricted. Vertex glabrate with sparse, fine punctures. Eye prominent, distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Distance between posterior ocelli nearly 4.5 times as wide as the distance between posterior ocellus and eye. Ocellar plate not raised, defined laterally by a very weak carina, finely radiating carinae anteriorly and coriarious posterior to anterior ocellus; median frontal carina distinct, extended slightly beyond lower margin of antennal sockets. Upper face, including antennal scrobe, coriarious with sparse fine punctures; antennal scrobe defined by carina laterally. Lower face coarsely coriarious and superficially foveate-reticulate. Anterior tentorial pits conspicuous. Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus indistinct. Clypeus glabrate and punctate. Gena coriarious. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput glabrous.

Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and finely, sparsely punctate. Pronotum dorsomedially not distinctly raised; pronotal crest medially not raised into a process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, nearly reach- ing pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum coarsely foveate-reticulate. Dorsal pronotal area reaching to end of posterior margin of pronotum and with closely arranged punctures in a single row. Mesoscutum distinctly arched dorsally, and foveate-reticulate with distinct transverse carinate component. Scutellar sulcus divided by a single median longitudinal carina; mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; posterior margin narrowly rounded in dorsal view. Mesopleural triangle ventrally well defined by smoothly curved carina and with conspicuous white pubescence. Upper mesopleuron glabrous except anteriorly with weak, transverse imbrication; speculum longitudinally carinate; and median longitudinal impression percurrent with multiple transverse carinae. Lower mesopleuron glabrous, pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum almost entirely depressed and punctate with long pubescence, posteromedially with a small area slightly elevated and glabrate with punctures. Propodeum mostly areolate-reticulate; lateral propodeal carina distinct only anteriorly, and interrupted by a large fovea medially. Median propodeal area glabrate with a complete median longitudinal carina crossed by a transverse carina. Nucha glabrous. Rs+M of forewing nebulous, arising from close to posterior end of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.0 times as long as wide, and almost as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.

Abdominal petiole 0.4 times as long as wide in lateral view. Relative length of T3–8: 1.8:1.0:2.0:1.3:0.15:0.0; T3–4 glabrous; T5 glabrous anteriorly and finely, sparsely punctate posteriorly; T6 finely punctate; T8 slightly visible. All legs sparsely punctate with pubescence except metacoxa dorsally glabrous and metatibia and metatarsomeres densely pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, thin, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.63.

MALE: Unknown.

The new species is similar to P. antistatusus , but it differs from the latter by (1) forewing ferruginous only medially, and clear both proximally and distally; and (2) metasomal T7 of female slightly exposed; exposed T7 is 1:15 of T6 as measured medially on lateral side.

TYPE MATERIAL: HOLOTYPE: ♀, Angola: Mocamedes (10 mi NE of), 1972-II-27–29, R. Giraul coll. ( NHM). DISTRIBUTION: Angola, Mocamedes. ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after the type locality.
