The intestinal amoebae from Miroterrncs have been assigned to 

 two genera, Endmnocba with four and EndoUmax with one species 

 (Kirby, 1927). Gregarines sometimes occur in Reticulitcrmcs, 

 Termopsis and Mirotcruics. The microsporidian Duboscquia legeri 

 Perez, 1908, produces white nodules in the body cavity of Rcticid- 

 itermes lucifugiis. Nyctothcrns is the only ciliate known to occur 

 in termites, although De Mello (1921) has recorded, probably 

 incorrectly, Opalina, Balantidimn and a new genus Franciella from 

 Lcucotennes indicola and a species of Coptotcrmes.

PROBLEMS AND METHODS 



One of the most interesting problems presented by the flagellates 

 of termites is that of distribution in their hosts. Since they do not
