I have seen eleven examples of 7'. iimsmann?, including 

 eight ( ? ? ) from the type-locality, all females but one. 

 The following are its chief features : head with the anterior 

 portion rather coarsely punctured ; prothorax with a pos- 

 teriorly-widened, very deep median sulcus, limited on each 

 side towards the base by a stout, backwardly-projecting, 

 conical prominence, exterior to which is a short deep snlcus, 

 the transverse basal groove bordered externally Iw a f'ulvo- 

 tomentose, strongly sinnate, laterally-projecting, ear-shaped 

 ridge, the basal groove itself continued forward along the 

 sides to near the anterior angles, the lateral margins 

 thickened and dilated at the middle ; elytra each with four 

 deep, posteriorly-abbreviated sulci, the juxta-sutural groove 

 widened forwards and extending to near the tip, the dividing 

 costffi becoming broader and flatter towards the apex and. 

 curved inward anteriorly^ the second raised and produced 

 into a stout dentiform projection in front, the apex smooth 

 and not ciliate ; the basal joint of the intermediate and 

 posterior tarsi short. According to i\rrow [Ann. & Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. (9) vi. p. -134, Oct. 1920], T. wasmanni is the ^ 

 of C. fulvus, Westw., but this cannot be the case, both 

 sexes of each species being represented in the material 

 before me. See Wasmann, infra^ and Plate VI. flg. 3.

There is a broken example of this species in the British 

 jMuseum. The type was found with Odoutotermes bangahr- 

 ensiSj Holmgr. See Wasmann, infra,
