Note. — This termite was first recorded by Nawa (7) as Entérines 

 parvonasutus Shieaki under the same circumstances related in the 

 case of Eutermes takasagoensis. Oshima (8, 9) also described it as 

 a new species giving the same name as the one mentioned above. 

 Holmgeen's specific name of this termite is Eutermes ivatasei. 



This termite does not build any regular nest and lives in a 

 rather small colony in old stumps, logs, fallen trees, etc.
