Female body length: 1.31–1.62 mm (n=19).
Median keel on frons: absent. Sculpture of lower frons: with irregular rugosity medially. Shape of mandible: slender. Median tooth of mandible: diminished. Frons below median ocellus: with 2 rows of setiferous punctures. 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: medially without costae or foveolae. T2 sculpture: laterally scrobiculate, smooth medially. Sculpture of T1: evenly costate across anterior 1/3 to 1/2, smooth in remaining apical portion. Posterior margin of T2: straight. 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 pauper can be recognized by the T2 sculpture, which is scrobiculate laterally and smooth medially.
Etymology
The name pauper refers to the lack of longitudinal costae on the base of T2. This name is to be used as a noun in apposition.

Material examined
Holotype, female: PERU: Madre de Dios Reg., canopy, 290m, 12°50'S, 69°17'W, Tambopata National Reserve, III-1983 – IX-1983, fogging, T. L. Erwin, OSUC 149427 (deposited in CNCI). Paratypes: ECUADOR: 18 females, OSUC 149396, 149424–149425, 164002, 549972, 550011, 550062–550067, 550069–550074 (CNCI).
Comments
This species very closely resembles P. princeps, although the two species can be distinguished easily by the sculpture of T2: P. princeps has a complete scrobiculate angled “belt” while P. pauper only has lateral costae.
