 (Mr. J. G. O. Tepper). 



Among a number of pinned specimens of termites sent to me 

 by Mr. Tepper was a single specimen of this species, which was 

 very noticeable from the network of veins along the costal margin, 

 as well as its large size. During the summer of the following 

 season, Mr. Holtze sent me seven specimens in spirits, taken 

 " tiying round the lamp at night " in the Botanic Gardens, 

 Palmerston. 



There are two specimens in the Macleay Museum, one of which 

 is labelled Cleveland Bay (Townsville), N.Q., collected, Mr, 

 Mastei's thinks, by Mr. Spalding; and another from King's 

 Sound, N.W. Australia, taken by myself, flying'round the lamp, 

 at a station about 100 miles inland from Derby.
