Paramblynotus stigi , new species

FEMALE: Length 4.0 mm. Body entirely dark brown. Submedial pale ring of antenna consisting of F6–7; F8–11 almost black, all other segments dark brown. Forewing with a deep ferruginous macula covering marginal cell and part of third cubital cell behind marginal cell. Body parts, except as specified below, with medially dense silvery 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 posterior to anterior ocellus, finely carinate anteriorly, and not defined laterally by carina. Median frontal carina raised into a simple lamilate process between antennal sockets and extended beyond lower margin of eyes. Upper face foveate to foveatereticulate; antennal scrobe defined by distinct carina laterally, distinctly depressed, and glabrate with fine punctures and fine diagonal carination. Gena glabrate-foveate. Lower face and clypeus foveate-rugose with dense pubescence. Anterior tentorial pits indistinct. Lateral occipital carina not reaching posterior part of vertex. Occiput glabrous.

Anterior flange of pronotum transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum glabrous, finely punctate dorsomedially. Pronotum dorsomedially not raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest distinctly raised into a median lobular process. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially, and distinctly separating lateral surface of pronotum in the middle. Lateral surface of pronotum foveatereticulate with dense pubescence. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present to anterior third of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally and heavily foveate-reticulate. Scutellar sulcus divided by a median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveate-reticulate; laterodorsal process of mesoscutellum prominent; posterior margin projected into two submedial processeses triangular 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 a few indistinct transverse costae; mesopleuron glabrous; lower mesopleuron strongly depressed along ventral margin and densely pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolatereticulate in upper part and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina percurrent, dorsomedially strongly raised and distinctly curved laterad; median propodeal area punctate with sparse pubescence; median longitudinal carina only present anteriorly and submedian transverse carina prominent. Rs+M of forewing arising from middle of basal vein. Marginal cell 2.5 times as long as wide and as long as submarginal cell. Bulla on Sc+R 1 absent.

Petiole 1.1 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 slightly exposed; relative length of T3–7: 1.6:1.0:1.0:1.3:1.0; T3–5 glabrous; T6 finely punctate with sparse pubescence; T7 finely punctate, with a band of sparse pubescence anteriorly. Tibia and tarsi conspicuously pubescent. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, and pointed apically. 1mt/2–5mt 5 0.80.

MALE: Unknown.

Paramblynotus stigi differs from all other species of annulicornis species complex in (1) mesoscutellum raised and projected posteriorly with a deep median triangular emargination, and (2) antennal scrobes and ocellar plate anterior to anterior ocellus finely longitudinally carinate.
