PRELIMINARY DESCRIPTION OF THE FAMILY TERMITOCORIDÆ. 99 
Of this apparently very old and in many respects very 
peculiar family only three representatives were known before, 
two from America and one from Africa. They all live toge- 
ther with termites. Of the first australian species, preliminary 
described above, I have collected quite a number of speci- : 
mens under bark of dead eucalyptus-trunks in the colonies of 
a white ant (Copiotermes sp.) in the open forest-country at 
Beaudessert and near Mt. Tambourine in southern Queens- 
land. 
The peculiar creature will be more completely described 
in: Results of Dr. E. MJÖBERGS scientif. expeditions to Au- 
stralia 1910—13. Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademiens 
handlingar, Stockholm.
