Euscelis aemulans |
| description |
Adults can be either brachypterous or macropterous. They are stramineous in color with black-fuscous markings, with brachypters more heavily marked with blackish color than macropters. Adults are 4.0-4.5 mm for brachypters and 5.0-6.0 mm for macropters (Berine, 1956). On the pronotum, there are a series of dark marks extending longitudinally. The vertex has a single dark spot to the side of the eyes, and various dark markings near the apex. The female pregenital sternite is concave, with a median short projecting tooth; the portion of the sternite around the tooth is black. The male subgenital plates are rounded, with setae along the lateral margins.

| distribution |
Native to the Western Palearctic, adventive in North America. Transcontinental in Canada, and primarily recorded from New England within the United States (Chandler & Hamilton, 2017), recently expanding into the Southeast. |
| abundance |
Rare, this species has only recently been recorded in the state from the mountains (likely a recent arrival); perhaps more abundant in this region. |
| seasonal_occurrence | |
| habitat |
Damp, grassy areas (Chandler & Hamilton, 2017) |
| plant associates |
Has been recorded from grasses (velvet grasses, quack grass, etc.) (Chandler & Hamilton, 2017) |
| behavior |
|
| comments |
This is a ground-loving species that is rarely captured while sweep netting (and therefore it is infrequently encountered; females tend to be caught in nets). Pan traps in grassy areas are particularly effective for capturing this species, especially males. (Chandler & Hamilton, 2017) |
