ETHIOPIAN NASI ["ITERMITINAE 41 



The close relationship of this species to N. elegantuhts has been discussed under 

 the latter, and its distinctions from other species in an earlier paper (Sands, 1057). 



Material (additional to that recorded in Harris, 1954, and Sands, 1957). 



Mozambique : Lourenzo Marques, 31. v. 1953 (E. Giddy), N.C.I. , Pretoria. 



REPUBLIC OF South Africa : Xorth Zululand, Ubombo, Lake Sibayi, and 

 Sordwana Bay, 19. xi. 1955 (W. G. H. Coaton), N.C.I., Pretoria, and B.M.(N.H.) ; 

 [ngwavuma, 29. i. 1959 (W. G. H. Coaton), N.C.I. , Pretoria. 



A total of 21 nest series were examined. 



The new records from Zululand provide a great but not unexpected southward 

 extension of the range of this species, and these must be very near the limit, since 

 the subtropical climate gives place to the temperate zone only a little further south.
