Paramblynotus
Paramblynotus is a genus of extremely rare parasitoid wasps in the family Liopteridae, subfamily Mayrellinae. The genus comprises very small species that superficially resemble gall wasps (Cynipidae). It occurs in the Afrotropical region and Madagascar, with additional species described from China. The genus was first recorded from Madagascar in 2013, where two species groups were identified including the endemic P. seyrigi group. Most species are known from single specimens, and museum collections remain under-represented.
