140 Termopsts Angusticollis, [ZOE 
with the species which was determined for me some time ago by 
Dr. Hagen as 7ermopsis angusticollis. The specimens which I 
had received previously had come from California only, although 
I had received them from San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and 
Placer Counties.’’ 
The following are the measurements of the specimens, includ- 
ing another lot received about a week later: 
Soldier: From tips of mandibles to extremity of abdomen is 
20 mm.; mandibles are 5 mm. long; body, from base of jaws, 16 
-mm.; body, excluding head, 11% mm.; head is a little more 
than 5 mm. wide. 
Worker: 13 mm. long; head, 3% to 334 mm. wide. 
Immature sexual tndividual: 13 mm. long; head, 3 mm. wide. 
The workers and sexual individuals are pale straw color; the 
soldiers are same color, except that the head is more fulvous, 
becoming darker anteriorly, and the jaws are black. Smaller 
individuals than the above were also found. There were no 
fully winged individuals at this season. 
This species is probably Lermopsis angusticollis, which, with 
Termopsis occidentis, are the largest species of the family men- 
tioned in Dr. Hagen’s Synopsis of the Neuroptera of No. 
Amer. (p. 3). The soldier described by Hagen under name 
Lermopsis occidentis is not this species, as suggested by Hagen 
(I. c.). The soldier of the present species does not have the pro- 
thorax anteriorly emarginate, but nearly straight instead, and 
the meso- and meta-thoracic posterior angles are not specially 
produced. 
Lermopsis occidentis Wik. (soldier, body 14 mm.) is described 
from the west coast of Central America. Dr. Hagen saw the 
type. Zermopsis angusticollis Hagen (sexual individual, body 11 
mm.) is described from Louisiana, California, and Puget Sound. 
These termites are said to make longitudinal galleries in the 
cottonwood trunks, more or less parallel, running irregularly up 
and down, a couple of inches or So apart, and being about that 
much in diameter. A section of a stick containing galleries was 
brought me, from which I have taken the following measure- 
ments:
