 on antennae.) 



Verron, H., 1957, pp. 25-30. (France, Calo- 

 termes fiavicollis, olfaction takes part in 

 reciprocal attraction between different 

 individuals in colony. Larvae very re- 

 sponsive to smell and density of group- 



ing; nymphs 7th instar exhibit higher 

 level of response, especially to grouping 

 of 15 to 20 individuals. Neoteinics give 

 best response to smell of larvae, but not 

 as good to differences of density. Soldiers 

 are least sensitive, interest toward larvae 

 but only for groups of 20 or more.)
