Askola fortuita sp. nov. is described based on male imagos from Southeastern Brazil, near Caparaó National Park. The new species is somewhat similar to A. froehlichi Peters, 1969 in regards to development of the male compound eyes and relative length of penis, but can be readily distinguished from this and other species of the genus by the following characteristics: dorsal portion of compound eyes widely meeting on meson of head; forewings hyaline; femora white, with a submedial mark and an apical band, both orangish brown; abdominal coloration mostly translucent white; genitalia with styliger plate washed with brown and red laterally, forceps segment I reddish-brown on basal ¼ , remainder translucent white, penes yellowish brown; penes not extending beyond posterior margin of styliger plate.
Askola fortuita sp. nov. 是根据来自巴西东南部、靠近卡帕拉奥国家公园的雄性成虫描述的。新物种在雄性复眼的发育和阴茎的相对长度方面与 A. froehlichi Peters, 1969 有些相似，但可以通过以下特征与该物种和该属的其他物种区分开来：头部的复眼背面部分广泛地在中线上相遇；前翅透明；股节白色，有一个亚中线标记和一个顶端带，均为橙棕色；腹部颜色大多为半透明的白色；生殖器的 Styliger 板侧面带有棕色和红色，夹钳节 I 的基部四分之一为红棕色，其余部分为半透明白色，阴茎为棕黄色；阴茎不超过 Styliger 板的后缘。
