FAMILY v.— TRYXALIN.-li. 115 



FF. Tempora short, little longer than 

 broad or, when twice as long, the 

 apical spur on the inner side of the 

 posterior tibias is twice as long as 

 the one beside it Eremnus. 



GENUS Pseudopomala Morse (1896). 



This insect is included by McNeill in the Tryxalinge, but 

 has since been removed by Scndder to the Acridiinai. 



"Vertex horizontal, longer than broad, semi-elliptical, 

 medianly convex with a very distinct carina, laterally sulcate 

 (female) extended into lamina (male), with themarginslimit- 

 ed by lateral carinse. The lateral foveolae are wanting. The 

 frontal costa is sulcate throughout with slightly divergent 

 heavy lateral carinae except at the immediate apex where it 

 is much constricted. The face is very declivent and straight 

 or a very little sinuate on account of the prominence of the 

 frontal costa between the antennae. These are very slightly 

 triquetrous and very much flattened and expanding basally, 

 equaling the short diameter of the eye nearly (male) or quite 

 (female) and strongly acuminate. They equal the head and 

 pronotum in length (female) or greatly exceed them (male). 

 The pronotum is but little longer than the head. Its disk is 

 nearly plain, slighth^ elevated toward the median carina 

 w^hich is distinct and cut only once much behind the middle 

 by the principal sulcus, which alone is apparent upon the 

 disk. The lateral carina are distinct, parallel, cut by the 

 principal sulcus only. The posterior margin of the metazone 

 is straight. The lateral lobes of the pronotum are vertical, 

 slightly convex above, with the anterior and posterior mar- 

 gins strongly oblique, the one straight, the other sinuate 

 just above the posterior lower angle, which is sharp and 

 sub-rectangular. The lower margin is nearly straight and 

 horizontal. The mesosternal lobes are separated by a space 

 longer than broad (female) or by a linear ridge with a deep
