25. Eutermes (Tumiiliteriiies) apiocephalus Silv. 

 (Plate 2, Fig. 8.) 



Some soldiers and workers from Christinas Creek in 

 soutbern Queensland and from Harm Creek on the Cape York 

 Peninsula undoubtedly belong to this species, which was re- 

 cently described by Silvestri from South West Australia. A t 

 least it has been impossible for me to find any structural 

 differences between my own soldiers and the type specimens 

 of Silvestri which Dr. Holmgren kindly has placed at my 

 disposal. Some of the soldiers seems to have 15-jointed an- 

 tennae, the 3rd joint being divided by a false suture. But 

 in all other respects my species is identical with Silvestri's.
