TERMITES FROM THE AUSTRALIAN REGION. 
m(js (Hg. 150). Witli the anterior margin (excepting at the 
proximal end) ciliate, a few liairs on principal veins, none on mem- 
brane or .small veins ; the four anterior veins and their branches 
very distinct throughout their length ; tlie media connected with 
the radial sec-tor by many stout cross- veins ; the cubitus distinct 
only to the sixth or seventh branch, from thence onward its course 
and the course of its remaining braiu-hes (seven to nine in nunibei-) 
is indicated by irregular lines of scale-like micrasters similar to those 
on membrane ; between the media and the cubitus there is a net- 
work of these lines arising from the fcn-mer and extending more or 
less distinctly to the latter, most distinct in the forewings, somewhat 
obscure in the hindwings. In tlie hindwings the media sometimes 
branches from the radial sector a considerable distance from the 
cross-suture, which is markedly concave in the forewings. 
Lecffi. — iShoj-t and stout, femora not markedly thick'ened ; tibiae 
and tarsi dark c-oloured, tibial spurs long and slender. 
Widest in the middle, tapered to the markedly 
pointed apex ; the apex of each tergite fringed with minute pale 
setae, a thin line of larger ones jcarallel to these at the apical third of 
eacli tergite ; cerci large.
