Phrenapates fortunaensis Rincon & Smith sp. nov. can be separated from all other known congeners based on the following characters: supraorbital tubercles present, separating this species from P. dux, P. latreillei, P. educator, and P. erratus Rincon, Lumen & Kamiński nom. nov. The supraorbital tubercles are wider than tall, similar to P. bennettii, but different than in P. gilloglyi Rincon & Smith sp. nov. Mandibles with crenulations on inside margin, as well as with an extra tooth as in P. bennettii, which differs from the smooth inner margin of P. gilloglyi. The mentum lacks an apical medial notch, instead possessing a small projection, giving the appearance of a trilobate mentum (Fig. 2G).
Species named after the Fortuna Mountains where the specimens were found.
