Paramblynotus pubifemoratus , new species

FEMALE: Length 4.0 mm. Body entirely black, and antenna and legs yellow to yellow brown. Wings completely transparent. The species is unsually hairy, particularly on head and lateral surface of pronotum.

Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform, not widened apically. Vertex foveate-reticulate and punctate with distinct pubescence. Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate raised, foveate/punctate-reticulate, and defined laterally by weak carina. Median frontal carina simple, reaching to lower margin of antennal sockets. Upper face foveate laterally; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, glabrous, densely punctate anteriorly, and defined by weak carina laterally. Gena glabrate and densely and finely punctate with pubescence. Lower face and clypeus foveate/punctate-reticulate with dense pubescence; anterior tentorial pits small. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput glabrous.

Anterior flange of pronotum glabrate to finely transversely striate, submedian pronotal depressions separated from each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum densely finely punctate and pubescent. Pronotum dorsomedially raised, slightly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest gradually raised medially into a small peak. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum mostly foveate-reticulate and longitudinally costate lateroventrally. Dorsal pronotal area granuate, present only along anterior part of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum arched dorsally and transversely costate with superficial foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; posterior margin narrowly truncate in dorsal view. Axillar area with conspicuous pubescence. Mesopleural triangle conspicuously pubescent and well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, sparsely transversely costate; upper and lower mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron sparsely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum irregularly areolatereticulate in upper part, conspicuously pubescent ventrally, and with a small elevated glavous area medially. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, strongly and abruptly curved, and strongly raised dorsolaterally into a triangular process with distinct pubescence; median propodeal area glabrate with two submedian longitudinal carina crossed by submedian transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 3.2 times as long as wide and 1.6 as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.

Petiole 0.44 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 very slightly exposed; relative length of T3–7: 2.2:1.0:1.5:3.6:1.6; T3–5 glabrous; T6 mostly glabrous and densely punctate posterodorsally with a conspicuous band of pubescence; T7 with a conspicuous band of pubescence dorsomedially and almost entirely densely punctate with a narrow glabrous area along posterior margin. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.61.

MALE: Unknown.

Paramblynotus pubifemoratus is similar to P. ruficeps , but it differs from the latter in (1) head, pronotum, and hindlegs covered with very dense adpressed hairs; (2) metasomal T6–7 of female each with a conspicuous band of long hairs dorsolaterally; (3) hair

tufts beneath lateral bar of mesoscutellum conspicuous; and (4) lateral propodeal carina strongly and abruptly curved and strongly raised dorsolaterally into a triangular process.
