 to the posterior part of this soldier some resemblance with that of 



an earwig. 



Length : 15 mm. 



Hab : Kashmir Valley. (Rob. 0. Wroughton ; June 1903). 



I take much pleasure in naming this species after Mr. Wroughton 

 who was so good as to collect for me these interesting specimens, which 

 I received together with a few other white-ants through the kindness of 

 the Hon. Secretary of the Bombay Natural History Society. 



The discovery of a Termopsis in India is of the highest interest. 



This genus was hitherto only represented by two species inhabiting 

 California and Central America and by two fossil species from the 

 amber of CEningen (Prussia). 



The foregoing description is but a preliminary note. The specimens 

 collected by Mr. Wroughton were rather damaged when they reached 

 me, and an examination of new specimens- will enable me to give a 

 complete and definitive description of r Tennoj)sis Wroughton,!.
