(syn. Microcerotermes. ) 

 With regard to the genera enumerated, the following remarks 

 are offered upon the synonomy and status thereof: — 



Calotermes: In a preliminary note Hagen (1853) created the 

 genus Kalotennei>. The elaboration of this note was delayed 

 for the publication of Peter's *' Reise nach Mossambique ** 

 (1862). In this the same spelling is adopted and Termes 

 flavicolUs Fabr. is cited as the type for living species, as opposed 

 to fossil species. However, in the interim, Hagen (1858) revised 

 the spelling to Calotermes, and in this form it is now thoroughly 

 engrafted upon the literature of termites. It is one of those 

 cases that will, so I think, prove an exception to the rules of 

 nomenclature Except Porotermes, the other genera included 

 in this group (and some more not mentioned) are ranked as sub- 

 genera of Calotermes sens. lat. by Holmgren (1911). Admit- 

 tedly most of Holmgren's subgenera of Calotermes sens. lat. are 

 good independent genera.
