banks: antillean isoptera. 485 



consider the adult of N. creolina. The adult E. acajutlae of Holmgren 

 from San Salvador is extremely close to and probably identical with 

 the E. ripperti. 



The winged termite which I consider the adult of N. creolina is 

 from Montserrat (Hubbard). 



Wmged. — Head brownish to dark brown; pronotum pale, rather 

 yellowish, rest of body yellowish beneath, brownish above, legs and 

 antennae pale. Wings brownish yellow as in N. lividus and A'^. 

 ripperti. Head hairy; eyes rather small, less than diameter from 

 vertex, ocelli nearly circular, less than their diameter from the eyes, 

 fully two diameters from lower margin of head; antennae with second, 

 third, and fourth joints all short and subequal. Pronotum shaped 

 similar to N. lividus not twice as broad in front as long, the sides not 

 much narrowed behind, and rounded into hind border. Length to 

 tip of wings 12 to 13 mm. 



Nearest to A'^. lividus, but pronotum paler and ocelli more circular 

 and fiu-ther from the front margin of head, and smaller than in that 

 species, and differs from all allied forms in the vertex extending much 

 higher above the eyes. 



Nasutitermes intermedius, sp. nov. 



Type. — M. C. Z. 10,079. Trinidad: Arepo Savanna, Cumuto, 

 under Sphagnum (Roland Thaxter). 



Soldier. — Head pale, brownish yellow, nose a trifle darker, pronotum 

 and antennae yellowish; abdomen and legs hardly yellowish, nearly 

 hyaline. Head a trifle longer than broad, with a fairly long nose, 

 in front with about ten erect, rather long hairs, two each side toward 

 vertex, four in a row near base of nose and one each side lower down; 

 hair on abdomen extremely short, hardly noticeable, but longer 

 bristles on hind margins; antennae of moderate length, third plainly 

 longer than second, but not twice as long, fourth hardly as long as 

 second, others slightly longer. Length of head 1.35 mm. 



Worker. — Has the usual large dark spots on upper head each side, 

 not as dark as in N. morio, and each spot shows trace of faint oblique 

 line from the vertex downward; head with many minute hairs. 



Nasutitermes hubbardi, sp. nov. 



Type.— M.C.Z. 10,080. Jamaica, (Hubbard). Cuba: — Caboda 

 (Mann). 

 Soldier. — Head pale brownish yellow, nose hardly darker, pronotum
