Phanuromyia princeps Nesheim sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Description
Female body length: 1.38–1.48 mm (n=10).
Median keel on frons: absent. Sculpture of lower frons: with 3–6 transverse rugae 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: with transverse series of small punctures in shape of incurved chevron. Sculpture of T1: evenly costate across anterior 1/3 to 1/2, smooth in remaining apical portion. Posterior margin of T2: straight; slightly convex. 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 princeps can be recognized by the T2 sculpture, which consists of a transverse series of small punctures in the shape of an incurved chevron.
Etymology
The name princeps is derived from the prince character in the book The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain in reference to its similarity to P. pauper. This name is to be used as a noun in apposition.

Comments
This species very closely resembles P. pauper, although the two species can be distinguished easily by the sculpture on T2: P. princeps has a complete scrobiculate angled “belt,” while P. pauper only has lateral costae.
