 believe to be a protophytan (to which Grasse gave the name, Fusi- 

 formis lophomonadis) ; bundle of axial filaments short, never protrud-

 in same habitat as the last species. Cytology (Kudo, 1926a).

Fig. 172. a, b, Holomastigotoides tusitala (Cleveland) (a, surface view; 

 b, flagellar bands, parabasal bodies, thin axostyles) ; c-e, Rostronympha 

 magna (Duboscq and Grasse) (c, a large individual with the completely 

 extended trunk, with axostyle, X500; d, a small medusoid form, XI 000; 

 e, a young individual with posteriorly attached spirochaetes, X500); f, 

 anterior end of Joenia annectens (Duboscq and Grasse). 



Genus Eulophomonas Grassi and Foa. Similar to Lophomonas, but 

 flagella vary from 5-15 or a little more in number; in termite gut. 



E. kalotermitis Grassi. In Kalotermes flavicollis; this flagellate has 

 not been observed by other workers. 



Genus Prolophomonas Cleveland et al. Similar to Eulophomonas; 

 established since Eulophomonas had not been seen by recent observ- 

 ers; it would become a synonym "if Eulophomonas can be found in 

 K. flavicollis" (Cleveland et al.).
