8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL, MUSEUM. vol.64, 



This description is based on two dealated adults — a male and 

 female — collected at Coconut Grove, Fla., in a hollow mangrove 

 branch on May 23, 1887, by Dr. E. A. Schwarz, of the Bureau of 

 Entomology; these specimens are deposited in the collection of the 

 United States National Museum. 



NEOTERMES ANGUSTOCULUS, new species. 



Winged adult. — Head yellow-brown or light castaneous, epicranium 

 slightly darker, epicranial suture Y-shaped, trace of frontal gland 

 present; longer than broad, rounded at base, with scattered light 

 yellow long hairs. 



Compound eye black, small, nearly round, separated from lateral 

 margin of head by a distance nearly equal to its long diameter, fully 

 two diameters from posterior margin. Ocellus large, oval, close to 

 and at oblique angle to eye. 



Labrum light yellow-brown, broadest at middle, constricted at base 

 and apex, apex truncate, with long hairs. 



Post-clypeus same color as head, broad but not long, convex pos- 

 teriorly — that is, front of head concave. 



Antennae light yellow-brown, 18 segments, pubescent; third seg- 

 ment darker colored than other basal segments, clavate, as long as or 

 longer than second segment, longer than fourth; last segment shorter 

 and narrower, subelliptical. 



Pronotum lighter colored than head, light yellow-brown, much 

 broader than head, nearly twice as broad as long, shorter than wing 

 scale, broadly roundly emargmate anteriorlj^ and rounded posteriorly 

 where also emarginate; with long and short hairs. 



Abdomen light castaneous dorsally, with long hairs near hind mar- 

 gin each segment. 



Legs pale yellow-brown, tibiae darker. 



Wings but little longer than entire insect, hyaline, costal veins 

 yellow-brown ; in fore wing 6-7 long branches from subcosta to costa, 

 median vein very close to subcosta reaches apex of wing, cubitus with 

 17 branches or sub-branches, not reaching apex. 



Measurements. — Length of entire winged adult, 15 mm.; length of 

 entire dealated adult, 10 mm.; length of head (to tip of labrum), 

 2.10-2.15 mm.; length of pronotum, 1.25 mm.; length of hind tibia, 

 1.6 mm.; length of anterior wing, 10.5-11 mm; length of wing scale, 

 1.55 mm.; width of head (at eyes), 1.70-1.75 mm.; diameter of eye, 

 0.32-0.35 mm.; width of pronotmn (at widest point), 2.15-2.25 mm.; 

 width of anterior wing, 3.50-3.65 mm. 



This species is closely related to N. castaneus Burmeister, but has a 

 much smaller eye, hence its specific name. 



Soldier. — Head light castaneous, somewhat darker in front, twice as 

 long as broad, broadest anteriorly, front of head depressed at epi- 

 cranial suture, with long hairs.
