ReTnarks. — Smaller than crassicornis Holmgren; crassicornis has 

 usiialh' one more segment to the antennae, 13 or 14, and a longer hind 

 tibia ; both are species in the subgenus Rotunditermes^ whereas 

 inatange'usis Haviland has a point at the apex of the mandible and 

 is a Nasutitermes sensu strictu. Compared with cotypes of crassi- 

 cornis and mutmigensis. 



Described from a large series of soldiers collected with workers at 

 the type locality by J. C. M. Gardner, 5, V, 1930.
