Relying upon the usefulness of the $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}\ensuremath{\tau}$ symmetry, we find a new type of neutrino mass texture with a single phase parameter $\ensuremath{\delta}$ that describes maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and Dirac $CP$ violation due to the presence of $\ensuremath{\delta}$. The Majorana phase associated with the third massive neutrino turns out …
