TERMITES FROM 'PHE AUSTRALIAN REGION. 
Biology. -Described from a large colony found in the trunk of a 
dead cacao tree in a dense tropical scrub in raviiu' ((l.K.ll., 1.6.22). 
beveral living trees of the same species were similarh' infestocl. 
1 have referred my specimens to Desneux’s species with some hesi- 
tation. I here is a marked dilTerence (3 ’00 mm.) in the length of 
the body and a considerable dilTerence in the width of the head 
in the soldiers (the otdy caste in which C. payva is known), but thei'(' 
are no im])ortant structural characters mentioned in Desneux’s 
description to dillei'entiate the New (luinea from the New Britain 
examples. In view ol the ])robability that a comparison of imagos 
will reveal sj)ecific dilTerences not evident in the soldier caste, I have 
described the New Britain S])ecimens in detail. I am indebted to 
Professor Holmgren for exajuining my material atid fo)' co-tyj)es of 
the allied species C. .‘^chvUzet llobngr. from Sepik, New (Juiiiea.

Head (Fig. 5).- Small, shagreened, much longer than wide, with 
scattered setae. Eyes large fO’323 x 0‘255 to 0.306 x 0'272), 
moderately prominent. Ocelli large, but not prominent, very close 
to eyes. Glypeus one-hfth as long as \\ide, truncate in front, straight 
on the sides. Labrum markedly convex, large, rounded in front and 
on sides. Antennae (Figs. 6 and 7) very long, 15- or 16-jointed, 
the basal joints short, 6th to 14tli increasing pi'ogressively. 
T/zoma:.— -I’ronotnm reniform, the margin with a scantv fringe
