Diagnosis
Phanuromyia ganga sp. nov. is close to P. kadamba sp. nov. but differs from it in the following character states. Posterior row of foveae on T1 ovoid, posterior margin of T2 straight; whereas in P. kadamba sp. nov. posterior row of foveae on T1 elongate, posterior margin of T2 convex and T3–T6 punctate.
