Diagnosis
Phanuromyia pandya sp. nov. is close to P. koenigi but differs from it in having an entirely coriaceous frons without smooth medial patch and posterior ocelli away from orbits; while in P. koenigi frons has an elongate smooth patch above interantennal process and posterior ocelli are adjacent to orbits.

Mesoscutum (L: W=15.2:25.0) convex, entirely coriaceous reticulate, except for punctate sculpture medially; mesoscutal humeral sulcus not foveate; mesoscutal suprahumeral sulcus not foveate; lateral pronotal area dorsally obliquely striate, remainder smooth; epomial carina present; pronotal suprahumeral sulcus foveate, setose; netrion sulcus entirely foveate; subacropleural sulcus indicated by five foveae; prespecular sulcus indicated by a single fovea; mesopleural pit not distinct; speculum with weak transverse carinae; episternal sulcus indicated by a large fovea; postacetabular sulcus not foveate; femoral depression smooth to weakly reticulate; ventral mesopleuron smooth except for dorsal reticulate patch; mesepimeral sulcus foveate; mesepimeral area smooth, narrower than width of mesepimeral sulcus; metapleural sulcus foveate; paracoxal sulcus not foveate; dorsal metapleural area smooth; ventral metapleuron obliquely carinate; metapleural epicoxal sulcus with shallow depressions; scutoscutellar sulcus foveate laterally; mesoscutellum semicircular (L: W=5.2:16.5), smooth, setose; posterior mesoscutellar sulcus foveate; metascutellum foveate; metanotal trough foveate; lateral propodeal area with a medial carina and a large fovea on inner margin; entire lateral propodeal carina visible posterior to metascutellum when viewed dorsally; fore wing (L: W=67.1:20.3) and hind wing (L: W=10.2:5.7) hyaline with dense microtrichia; ratio of length of marginalis: stigmalis: postmarginalis 8.5:10.9:12.0, respectively.
Metasoma. (L: W=28.6:22.2);T1 with longitudinal foveae, smooth laterally and posteriorly; T2 with basal foveae, followed by longitudinal striae extending 0.8× length of tergite; posterior margin of T2 slightly convex; remaining tergites smooth; T1 with two lateral and two sublateral setae; T2 4.5× length of T1.
Male. Not known.
