1959a, pp. 415-417. (India, Odontotermes 

 obesus, chaetotaxy soldier, worker, alate.) 



McMahan, E. A., i960, pp. 270-272. (Hawaii, 

 external sex characteristics Cryptotermes 

 brevis and Kalotermes immigrans, sterna 

 and styles differentiate sexes.) 



Morgan, F. D., 1959, pp. 155-195. (New Zea- 

 land, Stolotermes ruficeps, .external 

 morphology.) 



Mosconi, P. B., 1958, pp. 77-90. (Study ten- 

 torial glands, "corpora allata," and neu- 

 rosecretory cells Mastotermes darwinien- 

 sis, close affinity with Blattoidea. Glands 

 composed of two parts, one in head, one 

 in neck, structurally different. Neuro- 

 secretory cells with variable dimension 

 in brain, in subesophageal and pro- 

 thoracic ganglion.) 

 1958a, pp. 129-139. (Zootermopsis angusti- 

 collis in nymphal stage endocrine system 

 studied. Neurosecretory cells in proto- 

 cerebrum and in ganglia ventral chain. 

 Corpora allata have round form and 

 small or large cells, with uniform charac- 

 ter. Tentorial (prothoracic) gland shows 

 extracephalic part much greater than ret- 

 rocerebral one. Cells very chromophilous, 

 in intracellular spaces small black gran- 

 ules, perhaps a Gomori-positive material.) 



Mukerji, D., and Banerjee, B., 1955, pp. 289- 

 290. (India, Odontotermes redemanni, 

 mouthparts.) 



Noirot, C, and Kovoor, J., 1958, pp. 439-471. 

 (Africa, Termitinae, study digestive tract 

 19 of 22 genera. From anatomical varia- 

 tions, two types tracts correspond to two 

 lines evolution. Under Thoracotermes 

 type: Apilitermes, Crenetermes, Megag- 

 nathotermes, Orthotermes, Basidenti- 

 termes Fastigitermes, Probositermes, Cu- 

 bitermes, Procubitermes, Noditermes, 

 Tuberculitermes, Ophiotermes, and Eu- 

 chilotertnes; the gizzard is simple, the 

 enteric valve is complex, a blind diver- 

 ticulum is present on second pouch of 

 hindgut. Among Termes and allied 

 Pericapritermes, Capritermes, and Promi- 

 rotermes, the internal wall gizzard is 

 covered with longitudinal folds, as in 

 lower termites, simpler enteric valve, 

 second pouch hindgut without blind di- 

 verticulum. Ceratotermes classification 

 difficult.) 



Obenberger, J., 1952, pp. 1-869. (Anatomy 

 and morphology.) 



Richard, G., 1956, pp. 487-489. (France, Calo- 

 termes flavicollis, nerves and tracheae.)

 world species.) 



Schmidt, H., 1956a, pp. 1 15-125. (Nourish- 

 ment organs and biology.) 

 1959, pp. 79-86. (Nourishment organs and 

 biology of nutrition, grinding, and pre- 

 digestion. Importance of proventriculus 

 in Macrotermes natalensis different. Ba- 

 sically gizzard consists of 12 chewing 

 plates, thickened chiunized projections of 

 the inner cuticular layer of the foregut, 

 different in each species and provided 

 with teeth and ridges. Gizzard activated 

 by muscles. Opposed chewing plates have 

 grinding effect and break up solid food 

 (wood) into food (mechanical prediges- 

 tion). Padlike lobes ("wing folds") reach- 

 ing from the chewing plates into the car- 

 diac valve press back the chewed food 

 into the crop. Important proventriculus 

 "social feeding organ," food ground and 

 fed growing larvae as a brei rich in 

 carbohydrates.)

 totermes obesus, structure, musculature, 

 and mechanism of feeding apparatus of 

 various castes.) 

 1956a, pp. 45-46. (India, Odontotermes 

 obesus, cephalic musculature.)
