Holotype
is in fairly good condition: (1) glued on a pointed card by the mesosternum, (2) tarsomeres 2–5 of fore left leg missing, (3) left flagellum deficient, present 28 flagellomeres, (4) right fore wing apically creased and slightly torned.
Paratype
is in less good condition: (1) mounted like the
holotype
, (2) head glued separately on the card.
Holotype
and
paratype
are deposited in the
Hungarian Natural History Museum
(
Department of Zoology
), Budapest,
Hym. Typ. Nos
11384 (
holotype
) and 11385 (

Etymology – The species name
“fumoala
” refers to the brownish fumous colour of the wings.
Description of the female
holotype
. – Body
3.5 mm
long. Antenna somewhat longer than body and with 41 antennometes. First flagellomere three times and penultimate flagellomere 1.7 times as long as broad. – Head in dorsal view transverse (
Fig. 50
), 1.8 times as broad as long, eye 1.5 times longer than temple, temple moderately rounded, occiput excavated. Eye in lateral view 1.7 times as high as wide and just wider than temple (
Fig. 51
). Mandible broad, a bit longer than broad between upper and lower teeth, first and second teeth pointed, 4th tooth somewhat retracted (
Fig. 52
). Head polished.
Mesosoma in lateral view elongated, 1.5 times as long as high, polished. Notaulix distinct, evenly deep, smooth (
Fig. 53
). Mesoscutal dimple short lineraform. Tuft of hairs (or pubescence) restricted antero-laterally on mesoscutum (
Fig. 53
). Propodeum and metapleuron pubescent. – Hind femur thick, 3.3 times as long as broad distally (
Fig. 54
). Hind basitarsus 1.75 times longer than second tarsomere (
Fig. 55
).
Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma cuneiform, six times as long as wide,
r
a bit longer than width of pterostigma;
1–R1
0.6 times as long as length of pterostigma, i.e.
3–SR + SR1
approaching tip of wing (
Fig. 56
, see arrows). First subdiscal cell closed distally, i.e.
CU1b
present.
First tergite (
Fig. 57
) 1.25 times as long as broad behind, evenly broadening posteriorly, pair of spiracles before middle of tergite, pair of basal keels meeting and reaching middle of tergite; rugose and fairly hairy with apical tufts. Further tergites polished. Hypopygium pointed, ovipositor sheath thick and as long as hind tarsomeres 1–2 combined (
Fig. 58
).
Scape and pedicel brownish yellow, flagellum dark brown, ventrally faintly brownish. Palpi yellow, mandible rusty brown. Head, mesosoma and first tergite black, rest of metasoma dark rusty, tergites laterally with brownish yellow maculae. Hypopygium apically yellowish to yellow, ovipositor sheath dark rusty brown. Fore leg yellow, fifth tarsomere brown; middle leg brownish yellow, tarsus fumous; hind leg rusty brown, tibia + tarsus dark rusty brown. Wings evenly brownish fumous, pterostigma light brown, veins brown to light brown.
Description of the female
paratype
. – Similar to the female
holotype
. Body
3.5 mm
long. Head in dorsal view 1.7 times as broad as long. Hind femur 3.1 times as long as broad distally. First tergite 1.4 times as long as broad behind. Legs yellow, hind tibia + tarsus brownish fumous.
Male and host unknown.

The new species,
Chorebus (Phaenolexis) fumoala
, is nearest to
Ch. (Ph.) stenocera
(
THOMSON
)
; see
TOBIAS’
s keys l986: 197 and 1998: 386, the new species differs from
THOMSON’
s species by the following features:
1 (2) Notaulix distinct, mesoscutum bare and polished, tuft of hairs restricted antero-laterally (
Fig. 53
). Antenna with 41 antennomeres. First tergite somewhat more broadening posteriorly, 1.25 times as long as broad behind (
Fig. 57
). Ovipositor sheath in lateral view thick (
Fig. 58
). Hind femur relatively thick, 3.3 times as long as broad distally (
Fig. 54
). Wings brownish fumous. f:
