Description
Female body length: 2.80–3.05 mm (n=3).
Median keel on frons: absent. Sculpture of lower frons: with multiple transverse rugae. Shape of mandible: slender. Median tooth of mandible: diminished. Frons below median ocellus: with two rows of setiferous punctures converging ventrally. Sculpture on posterior half of mesoscutum: coriaceous to rugulose, at most with fine irregular longitudinal sculpture. Sculpture of anterior half of mesoscutellum: rugose-punctate. Thin median foliaceous lamella on propodeum: absent.
Color of coxae: bright yellow, concolorous with legs.
T1: flat, at most slightly swollen. Anterior margin of T2: with costae or foveolae throughout its width. T2 sculpture: with neither transverse series of small punctures nor scrobiculate lateral areas. Sculpture of T1: entirely costate. Posterior margin of T2: straight; only slightly concave. Number of visible terga past T2: 4 or 5. Setation on T2: limited to at most 1 row of setae posteriorly and sparse setation laterally.
Diagnosis
Phanuromyia corys can be recognized by the two rows of setiferous punctures converging ventrally on the frons.
Etymology
The name corys is derived from a Greek word for helmet because this species has a large head evoking the image of a knight wearing a helmet. This name is to be used as a noun in apposition.

Material examined
Holotype, female: BRAZIL: RJ, Silva Jardim, VIII-1974, F. M. Oliveira, OSUC 550201 (deposited in CNCI). Paratypes: BRAZIL: 3 females, OSUC 149358–149360 (CNCI).
Comments
This species is recognizable by its large size, only the largest specimens of P. odo reach over 2.7 mm in length. Phanuromyia corys may be distinguished from P. odo by the converging lines of setiferous punctures on the frons and the straight, transverse apical margin of T2.
