We have no record of the capture of this insect in Connecticut. 

 It is a more southern species, but has been taken on Long Island 

 and should be looked for in late summer on the rank weeds and 

 grasses in wet places throughout the southwestern part of the 

 state. 



Pseudopomala Morse. 



Body long and slender. Head with the vertex horizontal in 

 the female, slightly ascending in the male, and projecting in 

 front of the eyes to a distance equaling its width, and with its 

 anterior margin elongately rounded. The median carina more 

 prominent than in Tryxalis. Antennae ensiform ( Fig. 13 ). 

 Face very oblique, frontal costa prominent, slightly sulcate with 

 the sides nearly parallel. Pronotum about twice as long as 

 broad, the front margin truncate. The disk slightly roof-shaped 

 with lateral carinas parallel. Prosterum bearing an obtuse 

 tubercle. Tegmina usually abbreviated. Hind femora slender, 

 those of the male with a long, stridulating rasp of fine teeth. 

 Hind tibiae with 12 to 19 spines on exterior margin. Apical 

 spine absent.
