BY G. F. HILL. 27T 



Fronotum: long 0.90; wide 1.50. 



Tibia iii. 0.09. 



Described fr6m a small nest series of soldiers and nymphs, collected during 

 1907-8 by Mr. H. M. Giles and forwarded to me recently by Mr. J. Clark. 



Affinities. — The above species is quite distinct from any hitherto described 

 Australian species, being easily distinguished in the soldier caste by its long- 

 narrow head, large mandibles, dentition, third joint of antennae, and enlarged 

 femora. The two last charactere are typical of the subgenus Caloterrms as de- 

 fined by Holmgren, while the majority of the described Australian species are 

 grouped under the subgenera Glyptoternues and Neotermes. The subgenus Cryp- 

 totermes is represented in Australia, as far as is known at present, by one des- 

 cribed and one undescribed species. 



Types in G. F. Hill's collection. Paratypes in Mr. Clark's collection. 



Locality. — Western Australia: near Condon.
