Remarks.—The present species seems to be one of the com- 
monest termites in the Philippine Islands. Occasionally it at- 
tacks Pithecolobium dulce, cocos, or bamboos, constructing small, 
hard nests at their bases or below the ground. 
Among the individuals that were collected at Tibiao, on May 
9, 1918, were sixteen grown-up ergatoids, together with a vast 
number of young larve and eggs.
