Paramblynotus fraxinii Yang, 1994

Paramblynotus fraxinii Yang, 1994: 157–164 , ♀; China: Helongjiang; NWCF (HT ♀, paratype 2♀♀) .

FEMALE: Length 4.5 mm. Head, mesosoma, and antenna black. Legs brown except coxae black. Metasoma brown. Wings transparent. Relative size of abdominal T3–T7: 1.9:1.0:1.1:2.4:0.9. Metatarsomere 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.95.

Paramblynotus fraxinii is most similar to P. kosugii , but it differs from the latter in (1) mesoscutellum without transverse inflection before the posterior projection, and rounded posteriorly in dorsal view; (2) lateral propodeal carina strongly raised anterodorsally into a lobular process; and (3) size smaller. An additional character to separate P. fraxinii from most other species of Paramblynotus is that the female antenna is 12-segmented.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: 1♀ (paratype), China: Helongjiang, 1989-VI-30, Z. Yang and X. Xu coll. ( NWCF).
