Previously only known from the holotype female ( Figs 30 A-F ), we provide a description of male character states where they differ from those in the female. MALE. Length 1.5mm. Very similar to female, except for longer abdominal petiole, 1.54 x as wide as long in dorsal view, as long as high in lateral view. Tergite 5 laterally expanded and by far the largest tergite, latero-medially 1.5 x longer than all other tergites combined. First flagellomere 1.5 x length of second, slightly wider distally, excavated laterally. Biology. The Holotype was collected while feeding at flowers of Schotia afra L. (Karoo boer-bean), a tree in the family Fabaceae (subfamily Caesalpinioideae ). Distribution. Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania. Figure 30. Paramblynotus vannoorti , holotype female.
