Described from numerous alate imagos, two kings, two queens, 
one soldier, and main' larvae and nvmphs ; found in association 
with soldiers and workers of M icrocerofermes repncpums, n. s]i., in a 
rotten log ((I.F.H., 22.7.22). 
A ffinities. -The imago is very closely allied to C. 'pr Inins Hill, 
from North (bieensland ;. the latter, however, has longer and 
lighter colourefl wings and differently shaped ]U-onotum (cf. Figs. 
5 and 12). The soldiers of these two species are (juite distinct in the 
form of the head and pronotum. The soldier resendiles C. cynoce- 
phalus Light, from Philippine Islands, but it is much larger and has 
the frontal flange distimtly differently notched.
