Paramblynotus asae

description: <i>Paramblynotus asae</i>, new species FEMALE: Length 2.5–3.0 mm. Body entirely dark brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna consisting of F6–7, and all other segments dark brown. Forewing with a deep ferruginous macula covering marginal cell and the part of third cubital cell behind marginal cell. Body parts, except as specified below, with medially dense long golden pubescence. 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 entirely, and not defined by distinct carina laterally. Median frontal carina extended to the level of lower margin of eyes and raised into a lamilate, dorsally flattened process between antennal sockets. Upper face foveate; antennal scrobe distinctly depressed, punctate to punctate-reticulate, and defined by distinct carina laterally. Gena foveate-rugose. Lower face and clypeus foveate-rugose, clypeus also with apparent longitudinal striation. Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Lateral occipital carina barely reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous, anteriorly not separated by a transverse carina from vertex. Anterior flange of pronotum transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous and finely punctate with pubescence dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate and distinctly separated in the middle. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present to middle of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum indistinct; lateral sides convergent posteriorly, and posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. 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 many more or less distinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, distinctly raised throughout into a high ridge and strongly curved laterad medially; median propodeal area foveate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina percurrent and median transverse carina distinct. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.0 times as long as wide and slightly longer than submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent. Petiole 1.1 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 completely hidden beneath T7; relative length of T3–7: 1.75:1.0:1.2: 1.6:0.9; T3–5 glabrous; T6–7 finely punctate, each with a single row of long pubescence/ setae. Tibia and tarsi conspicuously pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt <b>5</b> 0.85. MALE: Unknown. <i>Paramblynotus asae</i> is close to <i>P. ebbae</i> but differs in (1) median frontal carina raised into a distinct, dorsally flattened process between antennal sockets, and (2) antennal scrobes densely and coarsely punctate.
