Description. Adult.

as well as at apex of clavus (
Fig. 124
); veins yellow or light brown with brown tips.
Structure. Head inclined in a 30° angle from longitudinal body axis. Genal processes irregularly narrowing towards blunt apex, 0.5 times as long as vertex along midline (
Fig. 115
). Antenna 2.9 times as long as head width. Rostrum short, only apical segment visible in profile, 0.4 times as long as head width. Forewing (
Fig. 124
) 2.8–2.9 times as long as head width, 2.2–2.4 times as long as wide, broadly, irregularly rounded apically, most strongly curved in cell r

; pterostigma moderately long, broad at base, about as wide as adjacent part of cell r

leaving broad spinule-free stripes along the veins. Metatibia 0.6–0.7 times as long as head width. Terminalia as in
Figs 146, 147
and
161
. Male proctiger 0.4 times as long as head width, with narrow, slightly curved posterior lobes basally. Paramere simple, lamellar, with weakly angular hind margin in apical third; apex ending in a single small, forward directed slerotised tooth; inner surface sparsely covered in long setae. Distal segment of aedeagus expanded in apical quarter, consisting of a distal oval dilatation and a proximal tooth; sclerotised end tube of ductus ejaculatorius short, almost straight. Female proctiger 1.2 times as long as head width, dorsal outline of apical half almost straight, apex obliquely truncate; circumanal ring 0.3 times as long as proctiger. Female subgenital plate 0.6 times as long as proctiger, apex pointed.

Fifth instar immature
. Colouration. Dirty whitish. Apices of flagellar segments brown. Sclerites on head and thorax dirty yellowish, laterally thoracic tergites with yellow orange dots, wing pads and legs yellowish grey. Abdomen with each a submedian and sublateral yellow orange dot on each segment, dorsally (
Fig. 171
).
Structure. Body 1.6–1.8 times as long as wide. Antenna 9-segmented, often division of segment 8 and 9 incomplete, 1.9 times as long as forewing pad. Marginal setae on forewing pad weakly capitate, particularly the longer ones, long and medium long, the longer setae often longer than distance between bases of adjacent setae; setae on dorsum of wing pads indistinctly capitate. Circumanal ring large, strongly indented anteriorly.
Measurements (in mm) and ratios (
3 immatures
). Body length 1.80–2.26, antenna length 1.12–1.20.
Etymology.
Noun in apposition. From Latin fumus = smoke and penna = feather, wing for its infuscate fore- wings.
Distribution
.
Brazil
(GO, MG, MS).
Host plant, biology and habitat
.
Copaifera oblongifolia
Mart.
; adults were also collected on
C. langsdorffii
which is a likely host.—Cerrado, disturbed vegetation, around plantations.
Comments
.
Mitrapsylla fumipennis
is similar to
M. copaiferae
from which it differs as described under the latter. From other copaiba psyllids it differs as indicated in the key.
The specimens from ‘Chapada’ (BMNH) are not included in the
type
series as the apical dilatation of the aedeagus is slightly larger than in the other specimens. The provenience of the material is doubtful as ‘Chapada’ is a term used for mountains in different Brazilian states. Additional material with host and locality data is required for interpreting this morphological difference to
types
of
C. fumipennis
.
