The Bangalore collection is much richer ; it is specially valuable 

 on account of the detailed collecting notes referring to the single 

 nests. The same is true of the Gujerat collection. 

 The two collections contain the following species ; — 



PROTERMiTiDiE : Calotermes (Neotermes) Assmutlvi, n. sp., from 



Bangalore. 

 Mesotermitid^ : Leucotermes indicola, Wasm., from Borivli. 



Goiototermes iw,rvulus, n. sp., from Anand and 

 Vadtal. 

 Metatermitid^ : Odontotermes ohesus, Ramb., from Borivli,^ 



Godhra, Vadtal, Anand, and 

 Tuwa. 

 ,, hangalorensis, Holmgr., from 



Hubli, Bangalore, and Krish- 

 narajapuram. 

 ,, wallonensis, Wasm., from Ban- 



galore, Krishnarajapuram, 

 and Tuwa, 

 ,, Fece, Wasm., from Bombay 



and Borivli. 

 ,5 Assmuthi, n. sp., from Borivli. 



Microtermes anandi, n. sp., from Anand. 

 JSremotermes paradoxalis, n. sp., from Banga- 

 lore. 

 Microcerotermes tenuignathus, n. sp., froni 

 Tuwa. 

 In addition to the species just mentioned, I propose to discuss 

 two forms of Microtermes belonging to the East Indian fauna, viz., 

 M. incertoides, n. sp., and M. anandi f. curvignathus . The former of 

 these was reported by Wasmann as M. incertus from Wallon, while 

 the latter which had been sent to me by Assmuth on a former 

 occasion (cf. Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc, Vol. XXI, No. 3), had 

 been considered by me as belonging possibly to the same species 

 (ilf. incertus).^ 



Fam. PROTERMITID/E, Holmgr. 

 Calotermes {Neotermes) Assmuthi, n. sp. 



Imago. — Very close to G. Greeni from Cejdon, but somewhat 

 bigger, with broader pronotum, a little larger facetted eyes and 

 ocelli, 3rd joint of antennee a trifle longer than 2nd, 4th shorter 

 than 2nd. 



Length with wings ... ... 14 mm. 



,, without ,, ... ... 7*2 ,, 



^ Assmuth wishes to thank all who have helped him in his work, especially the 

 Fathers of the Catholic Mission in Gujerat and the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in 

 Bangalore who generously gave permission to examine all nests on their grounds.
