 modified and darker colored, clavate and longer than second or third

 bles (to tip labrum), 3.8-4.1 mm.; length of head without mandibles 

 (to anterior), 3.3-3.5 mm.; length of left mandible, 2.1-2.2 mm.; 

 length of pronotum (to corners), 1.20-1.35 mm.; length of hind tibia,

Genus GLYPTOTERMES Froggatt. 



The genus Glyptotermes was established by Froggatt in 1896; its 

 contained species are widely distributed throughout the world. 

 The wing venation of the sexual adult is distinctive; the wings are 

 opaque. Lohitermes established by Holmgren in 1910, for Silvestri's 

 species " Calotermes" lobicephalus , described in 1903 from Argentina, 

 as a subgenus of the genus Kalotermes Hagen, is closely related to
