tips tinged with orange-brown ; hind wings broad at base ; ptero- 

 stigma oblong, dark brown ; antecnbitals 6 ; postcubitals b' or 7. 

 Head ochi-aceous in front, with a dark brown T-shaped mark on 

 vertex ; eyes dark brown. Superior anal appendages spatulate, bent 

 down, rugose above. Described from a specimen in formalin. 

 Length, 43 mm . The brown patches at bases of wings are unusually 

 large. Identified by Mr. R. P. Currie. 



Termites; White Ant. (Calotermes eastaneus (Burm.); Hagen, 

 Syn. Neurop. N. Amer., p. 1. = Termes antica Walker. Plate 

 xcix ; figure 16. 



Hitherto no species of this group has been recorded from Bermuda. 



Two winged specimens of a small White Ant were sent in Sep- 

 tember by Miss Victoria Hayward. The body is brownish yellow ; 

 tenannre and legs paler yellow ; wings very long, white, with 

 iridescent luster ; costal, subcostal and median veins close together; 

 divergent veinlets pretty numerous, but rather indistinct ; antennas 

 with 14 joints. Length of body (dry), 4 mm ; length of a wing, 

 7.5 mm ; its breadth, 1.75 mm . Identified by Mr. N. Banks. 



The two specimens sent are alike, but neither is quite perfect. 

 The workers were not observed. This species has been taken in San 

 Francisco ; common in Central and South America, to Chili and 

 Brazil ; West Indies. 



Psoeids. Heteropsocus, gen. nov. 



The small species described below appears to be the type of a new 

 genus, characterized especially by the peculiar simple or primitive 

 venation of the wings (see figures), without cross veins, nearly all 

 veins arising from a central one ; by the absence of hind wdngs in 

 the female and their large size in the male, where they nearly 

 equal the fore wings in size and form. Antennas with -1-1--1\ joints; 

 palpi 4-jointed ; three ocelli in the male. Allied to Psoquilla 

 Hagen.* 



* Mr. Nathan Banks, who has recently examined the types, furnishes the follow- 

 ing additional notes : Heteropsocus is nearly allied to Psoquilla Hagen, of which 

 a few females have been taken in Europe. The latter in $ , has also only 

 two wings, marked much as in Heteropsocus; but the venation is different; male 

 is unknown. It has been referred to Atropine?,, but as the £ of Hetropsocus has 

 ocelli, it practically breaks up the distinction between Atropine and Psocinae. 

 The male appears to have a median suture on the head.
