ANOPLOTERMES HONDURENSIS, new species. 



Winged adult. — Head dull dark brown to blackish, broader than 

 long (to base of post-clypeus), with dense short and long, light 

 yellow hairs. Fontanelle indistinct spot in broad depression between 

 the eyes. 



Antennae light brown, 15 segments, segments become broader and

 long, cylindrical; second shorter, somewhat clavate; third shorter 

 than second, narrow, clavate; fourth longer and broader than third; 

 last segment elongate, subelliptical. 



Eye, black, nearly round, projectmg, separated from lower margin 

 of head by a distance equal to less than its diameter. Ocellus deeply 

 inset, with projecting upper rim, large, nearl}^ round, separated 

 from eye by a distance equal to its long diameter (distant slightly 

 less than its diameter in A. fumosus Hagen and ater Hagen). 



Labrum light yellow, elongate, broadest at middle, narrows to 

 apex where rounded, with long, light yellow hairs, not as long as 

 mandibles. 



Post-clypeus light brown, bilobed, projecting, twice as broad as long,

Pronotum dark broAvn, not twice as broad as long, narrower than 

 head, medianally and anteriorly deeply, angularly indented, anterior 

 margin concave, posterior margin convex, sides roundedly narrowed
