817 A. FE. Verrill— The Bermuda Islands. 405 
tips tinged with orange-brown ; hind wings broad at base ; ptero- 
stigma oblong, dark brown; antecubitals 6; postcubitals 6 or 7. 
Head ochraceous in front, with a dark brown T-shaped mark on 
vertex ; eyes dark brown. Superior anal appendages spatulate, bent 
down, rugose above. Described from a specimen in formalin. 
Length, 43™™. The brown patches at bases of wings are unusually 
large. Identified by Mr. R. P. Currie. 
Termites; White Ant. (Calotermes castaneus (Burm.); Hagen, 
Syn. Neurop. N. Amer., p. 1. = Zermes antica Walker. Plate 
xix ; figure 16. 
Hitherto no species of this group has been recorded from Bermuda. 
Two winged specimens of a small White Ant were sent in Sep- 
tember by Miss Victoria Hayward. The body is brownish yellow ; 
tenanne and legs paler yellow; wings very long, white, with 
iridescent luster ; costal, subcostal and median veins close together; 
divergent veinlets pretty numerous, but rather indistinct ; antennz 
with 14 joints. Length of body (dry), 4™™; length of a wing, 
7.5™™; its breadth, 1.75™™. Identified by Mr. N. Banks. 
The two specimens sent are alike, but neither is quite perfect. 
The workers were not observed. This species has been taken in San 
Francisco ; common in Central and South America, to Chili and 
Brazil ; West Indies. 
Psocids. Heteropsocus, gen. nov. 
The small species described below appears to be the type of a new 
genus, characterized especially by the peculiar simple or primitive 
venation of the wings (see figures), without cross veins, nearly all 
veins arising from a central one; by the absence of hind wings in 
the female and their large size in the male, where they nearly 
equal the fore wings in size and form. Antenne with 22-24 joints; 
palpi 4-jointed ; three ocelli in the male. Allied to Psoquilla 
Hagen.* 
* Mr. Nathan Banks, who has recently examined the types, furnishes the follow- 
ing additional notes : Heteropsocus is nearly allied to Psoquilla Hagen, of which 
a few females have been taken in Europe. The latter in ¢, has also only 
two wings, marked much as in Heteropsocus; but the venation is different; male 
is unknown. It has been referred to Atropine, but as the ¢ of Hetropsocus has 
ocelli, it practically breaks up the distinction between Atropine and Psocine. 
The male appears to have a median suture on the head.
