Described from a small colony comprising 54 individuals as 
follows : — King, queen, 16 soldiers, and 38 workers. Found in a 
rotton log (Gr. F.H., June, 1922), wliich contained also the colony of 
Eutermes rufirostris, n. sp., referred to elsewhere in this paper. The 
absence of soldiers of the large form in young colonies of Rhino- 
term.es has been noted in Australian species. 
Affinities . — The most closely related species appears to be 
R. dimorphns, the smaller soldier of which is larger than that of the 
proposed new species, and has at least two more joints in the antennae. 
The imago of Desneux’s species is not known . The i mago of R. umhra- 
ticus differs from all other species known to the writer in having a 
markedly protuberant postclypeus.
