 Isopoden, p. 65. 



TITANA MIEABILIS, Budde-Lund. 



1909. Titana mirabilis, Budde-Lund, Schultze's Eeise in Slidafrika

Found by Schultze in nests of Hodotermes viator (Latreille),

1903. Phylloniscus, Purcell, Trans. S.A. Phil. Soc., vol. xiv., pt. 4, 



p. 409. 



It is rather doubtful whether this genus can stand in the 

 family Ligiidae. Budde-Lund suggests that it may be placed 

 there, influenced probably in part by the general resemblance 

 between the typical species and his own Schoblia circularis, 

 but also in part by the circumstance that of three African 

 species of Isopoda found in the nests of Termites the Titana 

 and the Schoblia certainly belong to the Ligiidae, whereas the 

 numerous land isopods found in the nests of ants all belong to 

 the family Oniscidae. 



PHYLLONISCUS BRAUNSI, Purcell. 



1903. Phylloniscus braunsi, Purcell, Trans. S.A. Phil. Soc., vol. xiv., 



pt. 4. p. 410, figs. 1-3 in text. 



Taken by Dr. H. Brauns, from the subterranean galleries of 

 Hodotermes viator at Willowmore, Cape Colony, and by Dr. 

 Purcell " at Matjesfontein, Cape Colony, under a stone in the 

 galleries of a dark-coloured Hodotermes (evidently H. mossam- 

 bicus}." A specimen kindly sent me by Dr. Peringuey has 

 not yet been sacrificed to scientific investigation.
