Homo florensis - the man of flores; named after the island it was discovered. Very small, tiny, female skeleton probably belonging to the new human subspecies, however there is a lot of controversy whether H.Florenisis was really another human species or just homo sapiens with microcephalia.
You will find a lot of useful and well established information with lots of references at this website http://www.darwinism-watch.com/homo_floresiensis.php
Hope it will be of some help

"Homo floresiensis ("Man of Flores") is the proposed name for a possible species in the genus Homo, remarkable for its small body, small brain, and survival until relatively recent times.[1][2] It is thought to have been contemporaneous with modern humans (Homo sapiens) on the Indonesian island of Flores. One largely complete sub-fossil skeleton (LB1) and one molar (LB2), dated at 18,000 years old, were discovered in deposits in Liang Bua Cave on Flores in 2003. Parts of seven other individuals (LB3 – LB9, the most complete being LB6), all diminutive, have been recovered as well as similarly small stone tools from horizons ranging from 94,000 to 13,000 years ago.[3]" en.wikipedia.org
