I have collected quite a number of soldiers and workers 

 in rotten logs, where it builds irregular galleries, at Cedar 

 Creek, April 1913. Like the former species, it is a typical in- 

 habitant of the jungles. 



Genus Calotermes Hg. 



About 70 different species of the Calotermes genus are 

 hitherto known from the most different parts of the world. 

 Up till now 8 different species were known from the Aust- 

 ralian Continent and 1 from New Zealand; some of' the 

 species, however, are too badly and too generally described 

 to allow of a certain identification. 



My new material contains not less than 6 new species, 

 the soldiers of which may be tabulated as follows.
