Glyptotermes. The winged sexual adult of Lohitermes is similar to 

 that of Glyptotermes; the soldier of Lohitermes has a shorter darker 

 colored (blacker) head and has more segments to the antennae 

 than in Glyptotermes. 



In habits, species of Glyptotermes are similar to species of Kalotermes; 

 they live in small colonies in the trunks of dead trees; the galleries 

 (pi. 2, figs. 11, 12) are small and the pellets of excrement are similar 

 to those of other Kalotermitidae (pi. 2, fig. 13). 



GLYPTOTERMES PUBESCENS. new species. 



Dealdted adult (pi. 2, fig. 10). — Head dark castaneous-brown to 

 piceous, smooth, shining, arched, nearly as broad as long, highest in 

 center, rounded posteriorly, with scattered, long, light yellow hairs. 



Antennae light castaneous-brown, broken, segments become broader 

 toward apex, with long hairs; first segment elongate, cylindrical; 

 second shorter than first but longer than third, subclavate; third more 

 wedge shaped, segments become longer after fifth segment. 



Palpi last segment elongate, cylindrical, pointed at tip. 



Eyes black, somewhat projecting, not round, separated from 

 lateral margin of head by a distance less than their diameter. 

 Ocellus large, round, close to eye. 



Labrum yellowish-brown, wider than long, broadly rounded at 

 apex, broadest at center, with long hairs. 



Pronotum same color as head, over twice as broad as long, emargi- 

 nate anteriorly, convex posteriorly, sides rounded, gradually slope 

 toward posterior margin, margins with long hairs. 



Meso-and metanotum emarginate posteriorly. 



Wing scale longer than pronotum, with long hairs. 



Legs light yellow-brown, tibiae darker, fairly elongate, with hairs; 

 tibiae with 3 spines at apex. 



Abdomen slightly lighter colored than pronotum, paler ventrally, 

 margins with long, dense, light yellow hairs as well as shorter hairs; 

 styli present. 



Measurements. — Length of entire dealated adult, 4,75-5.75 mm. 

 (the smaller being a dry specimen); length of head, 1.3-1.4 mm.; 

 length of pronotum, 0.6-0.7 mm. ; length of hind tibia, 1-1 .005 + mm. ; 

 width of head (at eyes), 1.1-1.2 mm.; diameter of eye, 0.302 mm.; 

 width of pronotum, 1.1-1.4 mm. 



Soldier (pi. 1, figs. 2-5). — Head light yellow-brown, darker an- 

 teriorly, where deeply lobed, longer than broad but relatively short, 

 subcylindrical, narrowed slightly at front, highest in center; front 

 rimmed with black, almost vertical, with scattered long, light- 

 yellowish hairs on margins and 4 long hairs in a transverse row on 

 dorsimi at about middle of head, the 2 inner hairs being slightly
