TTie following 12 new species of termites are described in this 



paper: 



Kalotermitidae. 



Kalotermes marjoriae, new species, Hawaii, Hilo. 



Kalotermes tabogae, new species, Panama, Taboga Island. 



Neotennes angustociilus, new species, United States, Florida (Paradise Key). 



Glyptotennes pubesceiis, new species, Porto Rico, Aibonito. 



RniNOTERMrriDAE. 



Leucotermes convexinotatus, new species, Panama, Colon. 

 Leucotei-mes cardini, new species, Bahamas, Andros Island . 

 Leucotermes longiceps, new species, Brazil, Coxipo, Cuyaba. 



TERMrriDAE. 



Syntermes magnoculus, new species, Brazil, Chapada. 



Syntermes emersoni, new species, Brazil, Iguaripe. 



Syntermes colombianus, new species, Colombia. 



Nasutitermes {Subulitermes) zetehi, new species, Panama, Summit, C. Z. 



Anoplotermes hondurensis, new species, Spanish Honduras, La Ceiba. 



Descriptions are also given of the hitherto unknown winged sexual 

 adults of Amitermes wheeleri Desneux of Texas, which is also figured, 

 and Amitermes heaumonti Banks of Panama, as well as that of 

 Nasutitermes guayanae, form columbicus Holmgren of Panama, 

 which I designate a distinct species. 



The soldier of Syntermes dims, form Jiageni Holmgren, is described 

 more fully and figured; I believe it to be a distinct species and have 

 so designated it; keys to the soldiers of 15 species and to the winged 

 adults of 9 species of Syntermes are given. 



It has been found that there are two species of Neotermes in 

 southern Florida, namely, angustoculus Snyder — a small-eyed new 

 species — and N. castaneus Burmeister — a large-eyed species; the 

 latter has been redescribed for comparison with my new species; 

 specimens of these distinct species had been confused in the collection 



No. 2496. — Proceedings U. S. National Museum. Vol. 64, Art. 6.
