Paramblynotus ebbae , new species

FEMALE: Length 2.8 mm. Body dark brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna consisting of F6–7. Flagellomeres other than F6–7 black. Forewing with a deep ferruginous macula covering marginal cell and part of third cubital cell behind marginal cell. Body parts, except as specified below, with moderately dense silvery pubescence.

Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform. Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised, not defined laterally by distinct carina, surface foveate, and with a row of large foveae lining each side. Median frontal carina raised into a low lamilate process and percurrent to clypeus. Upper face foveate to foveate-reticulate; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, with dense and fine punctures, and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena foveate-reticulate. Lower face foveatereticulate with dense pubescence. Anterior tentorial pits distinct. Clypeus punctate/foveate-reticulate. Lateral occipital carina not reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous.

Anterior flange of pronotum glabrate with trace of fine, transverse striation; submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and punctate dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised into a median process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveatereticulate with pubescence and distinctly separated in the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrous, only visible as a crescent area anteriorly. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally and heavily foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum not prominent; posterior margin not projected. Pubescence in axillar area distinct but not conspicuous. Mesopleural triangle densely pubescent, well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, with a few indistinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and densely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolatereticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, dorsomedially strongly raised and distinctly curved laterad; median propodeal area glabrate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina purcurrent (less distinct posteriorly) and submedian transverse carina prominent. Rs+M of forewing arising from posterior third of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.5 times as long as wide and almost as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.

Petiole 0.7 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 entirely covered by T7; relative length of T3–7: 1.1:1.0:1.5:1.9:0.9; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with sparse pubescence; T7 densely and finely punctate, with row of sparse pubescence anteriorly. Tibiae and tarsi conspicuously pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.65.

MALE: Unknown.

Paramblynotus ebbae is unique among species of the annulicornis complex by having Rs+M of forewing arising from posterior third of basal vein. It is more similar to P. asae than to the other soecies of the complex, but it can be distinguished from P. asae by the following additional characters: antennal scrobes densely, but finely punctate, triangular ocellar plate not defined by lateral carinae, and median frontal carina not forming a dorsally flattened process between antennal sockets.
