Material examined
Holotype, female, (ICAR/NBAIR/P4329), India: Uttar Pradesh: Aligarh, Aligarh Muslim University, Agriculture Farm, 27°54'57"N, 78°04'43"E, 189 m, SN, 13.IX.2006.
Diagnosis
Phanuromyia vakataka sp. nov. is close to P. nabakovi but differs from it in the following character states. In P. vakataka sp. nov. foveae on anterior margin of T1 are elongate, (half the length of tergite) and area adjacent to medial smooth space on frons is coriaceous reticulate; whereas in P. nabakovi foveae on anterior margin of T1 is short, at most 0.2× the length of tergite and transverse striae are present adjacent to the smooth medial area of frons.
Description
Female body length=0.75 mm (n=1).
Colour. Head and mesoscutum black; mesoscutellum, metascutellum, propodeum and metasoma brown-black; radicle, A1–A5 yellow with uneven brown patches, A6–A7 yellow, remaining antennomeres brown; all coxae yellow with brown patches, remainder of legs yellow.
Head. Head 1.2× as wide as high, 1.5× as high as long; IOS 0.5× head width, 1.1× eye length; frons coriaceous reticulate with a smooth medial patch; central keel absent (short transverse striae present on either side of imaginary central keel); vertex transversely coriaceous reticulate; gena entirely weakly coriaceous reticulate with a smooth basal patch; eye (L: W=10.2:6.7) large, with no setae; POL: LOL in ratio of 9.8:5.8; lateral ocelli contiguous with orbits; hyperoccipital carina absent; occiput coriaceous reticulate with sparse setae; A1 3.7× as long as wide and 2.2× as long as A2.
Mesosoma. Mesoscutum (L: W=11.4:15.3) convex, entirely coriaceous reticulate; mesoscutal humeral sulcus foveate; mesoscutal suprahumeral sulcus foveate; lateral pronotal area dorsally coriaceous reticulate followed by two oblique carinae, remainder smooth; epomial carina absent; pronotal suprahumeral sulcus not foveate; netrion sulcus entirely foveate; subacropleural sulcus indicated by a large depression; prespecular sulcus indicated by five weak foveae; mesopleural pit distinct; speculum with transverse carinae; episternal sulcus foveate; postacetabular sulcus foveate; femoral depression smooth; ventral mesopleuron reticulate; mesepimeral sulcus foveate; mesepimeral area smooth, narrower than width of mesepimeral sulcus; metapleural sulcus foveate; paracoxal sulcus weakly foveate; dorsal metapleural area and ventral metapleural area smooth; metapleural epicoxal sulcus with shallow depressions; scutoscutellar sulcus medially narrow, laterally wide and foveate; mesoscutellum semicircular (L: W=4.3:12.5), smooth, setose; posterior mesoscutellar sulcus foveate; metascutellum anteriorly foveate, remainder smooth; metanotal trough weakly foveate; lateral propodeal area smooth with foveae on inner margin; medial lateral propodeal carina hidden beneath metascutellum when viewed dorsally; fore wing (L: W=54.4:17.3) and hind wing (L: W=48.0:6.8) hyaline with dense microtrichia; ratio of length of marginalis: stigmalis: postmarginalis 6.0:4.8:10.7, respectively.
Metasoma. (L: W=27.9:15.4); T1 with longitudinal foveae, extending half the length of tergite; T1 laterally and posteriorly smooth; T2 with basal foveae, short longitudinal striae present submedially, remainder smooth; posterior margin of T2 straight; T1 with two lateral setae and one sublateral seta;T2 1.9× length of T1.
Male. Not known.
Etymology
This species is named after the Vakataka dynasty, which rose to power in Berar in the central Deccan in peninsular India in the mid-third century CE. The name is treated as a noun in apposition.
