Winged Imago. Above brown, below yellow-brown, pleural 

 sclerites and coxae pale brown, pleural sutures dark brown. 

 Legs and antennae quite pallid. Wings hyaline, brownish; 

 E. dark brown ; C. paler than R. and becoming pallid toward 

 wing-tip. Head uniformly dark brown with a pale fonta- 

 nelle-spot and without distinct antennal spots ; clypeus 

 castaneous. Pronotum a tone paler than head, without mark- 

 ings. Mesonotum and metanotum paler than pronotum, 

 especially the sides_, which are yellowish; mesonotum with a 

 small pale median spot on hind margin. Abdominal tergites 

 uniformly coloured, the caudal series somewhat paler. 

 Abdominal sternites darker laterally, genital plate of female 

 Avith a pale anterior median field, which is bordered at the 

 sides and behind by pale brown. 



Wings of Cuhitermes ngandensis. 



Head glabrous, frons with a median depression, vertex 

 flattened around a decided median ridge at fontanelle, this 

 ridge may or may not be impressed along its length with 

 an elongate dep.re^sion ; clypeus without a median groove ; 

 antennae IG-jointed, joint iii. minvite, iv. much smaller than 

 v., V. and vi. subequal and smaller than vii. Pronotum 

 glabrous, subsemicircular, depressed behind, Avithout median 

 groove, hind maigin somewhat wide and shallowly incurvate; 

 meso- and metanotum with weakly curved sides, hind 

 margins notched, points short and angular. Wings about 

 four times as long as wide; venation of hind wing very 

 characteristic, as !M. exhibits a series (5 to 6) of regidarly 

 spaced, strong, oblique oifsets that extend towards K. ; the 

 first offset 1*5 to 3 mm. from line of fracture ; in the fore- 

 wing these offsets are either quite missing or, if present, 

 fewer, longer, and further apart ; when missing, the venation- 

 scheme agi'ees with that described for C.fungiJ'aber^ Sjdst.
