Paramblynotus tianmushanensis He, 2004 , Hymenopteran insect fauna of Zhejiang, 89.

Material examined: The holotype specimen deposited in Institute of Insect Sciences of Zhejiang University: 1 female (holotype), CHINA, Zhejiang, Lin’an, West Tianmushan, 1988 . V.16, Xu Weiliang; Additional specimen deposited Zhejiang A & F University: 1 female, CHINA, Zhejiang, Lin’an , West Tianmushan, 2010. VII.1–3, Wu- Zhao Zhang.

Description. FEMALE. Body length 3.4–4.1 mm. Antenna 13-segmented, flagellum filiform. Rs+M of fore wing ( Fig. 53 ) arising from middle of basal vein; marginal cell 2.1 times as long as wide and approximately as long as submarginal cell.

Coloration. Body entirely black. Wings almost completely clear, at most tinted along vein around R-cell.

Head ( Figs. 49–50 ). Vertex foveate-reticulate. Eye prominent, distinctly extended laterally beyond outer margin of gena. Ocellar plate slightly raised, foveate-reticulate, defined laterally by carina, with a row of large foveae along lateral sides. Median frontal carina extending to slightly beyond ventral margin of eye. Dorsal frons foveate-reticulate; antennal scrobe glabrate, densely punctate, longitudinally carinate posteriorly, deeply depressed, well defined laterally by carina. Gena foveate-rugose anteriorly, horizontally costate posteriorly. Ventral frons foveate to punctate- reticulate. Anterior tentorial pits distinct. Clypeo-pleurostomal sulcus and epistomal sulcus forming a rectangle above median transverse inflexion of clypeus. Clypeus punctate-reticulate. Lateral occipital carina not reaching vertex. Occiput glabrous.

Mesosoma ( Figs. 51–52 ). Anterior flange of pronotum finely transversely striate; submedian pronotal depressions slightly separated medially. Anterior plate of pronotum mostly glabrous, punctate posteriorly. Pronotum dorsomedially slightly raised, distinctly lower than mesoscutum; pronotal crest not raised medially. Lateral pronotal carina distinct, reaching pronotal crest dorsomedially. Lateral surface of pronotum foveatereticulate and densely punctate, transversely carinate ventrolaterally. Dorsal pronotal area glabrate, present only along anterior half of posterior margin of pronotum. Mesoscutum strongly arched dorsally, transversely costate with distinct foveae set in rows. Scutellar sulcus divided by median longitudinal carina. Mesoscutellum foveatereticulate, posterior margin rounded in dorsal view. Axillar area without distinct pubescence. Mesopleural triangle well defined ventrally by smoothly curved carina, with white pubescence. Median mesopleural impression percurrent, transversely costate medially; upper mesopleuron glabrous with sparse setigerous punctures anteriorly; lower mesopleuron glabrous, and conspicuously pubescent ventrally. Metepisternum areolate-reticulate in dorsal part and conspicuously pubescent, densely punctate ventrally. Lateral propodeal carina very strongly raised, forming a narrow triangle dorsally; median propodeal area glabrate; median longitudinal carina percurrent, crossed by submedian transverse carina.

Petiole 0.60 times as long as wide in lateral view. Tergum 8 not exposed; relative length of T3–7: 1.8:1.0:1.9:3.8:1.6; T3 and T4 glabrous; T5–7 finely punctate; T6 and T7 each with a middle row of pubescence dorsolaterally. Apical teeth of metatibia long, slender, pointed apically. Length of 1 st metatarsomere 0.60 times combined length of 2–5mt.

Distribution. China: Zhejiang (Oriental region).
