Paramblynotus ornatus
,
new species
FEMALE: Length 7.0 mm. Body entirely bright yellow, except antennal flagellum dark brown. Forewing mostly smoky; marginal cell, first discoidal cell, and area interior to basal vein light yellow; hindwing smoky distally and light yellow proximally.
Antenna 13-segmented; flagellum filiform. Vertex glabrous and sparsely foveate. Eye prominent and distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate not distinctly raised, glabrate and sparsely foveate-punctate, and defined laterally by weak carina. Median frontal carina very briefly present above antennal sockets. Upper face foveate laterally; antennal scrobe glabrous and finely punctate, deeply depressed, and well defined by carina laterally. Gena glabrous and very sparsely punctate. Lower face and clypeus punctate-reticulate and sparsely foveate; clypeus anterior to submedian transverse inflexion glabratepunctate. Anterior tentorial pits small. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput glabrous.
Anterior flange of pronotum glabrous; submedian pronotal depressions separated from each other medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous, only punctate dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially raised, slightly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveate-reticulate. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present along anterior half of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum arched dorsally and foveate-reticulate, with foveae set in rows between transverse costae. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Axillar area without distinct pubescence. Mesopleural triangle well defined ventrally by a smoothly curved carina and glabrate with sparse pubescence. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, not transversely costate medially; upper and lower mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron conspicuously depressed along ventral margin and sparsely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum glabrous, areolate-reticulate in upper part and pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent and distinctly directed toward outside posteriorly and raised throughout into a conspicuous ridge; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina present prior to submedian transverse carina. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein; basal vein nebulous. Marginal cell 3.6 times as long as wide and 1.7 times as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R

absent.
Petiole 0.47 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 slightly exposed; relative length of T3–8: 2.5:1.0:1.4:4.8:2.3:0.6; T3–5 glabrous; T6 mostly glabrous and punctate dorsomedially; T7 densely punctate and dorsolaterally coarsely punctate/foveate with pubescence. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt

MALE: Unknown.
Paramblynotus ornatus
is similar to
P. miltocephalus
, but it differs from the latter readily by its entirely yellow color of body and the largely smoky wings.
