Intestinal Protozoa in Termites 
paper, also, they made revisions of the hitherto described genera and species, 
and established four new genera, besides the two above-mentioned, viz. 
Eulophomonas, Mesojoenia, Spirotrichonympha, Microrhopalodina. 
Janicki published a beautiful work on Lophomonas in 1910. Lophomonas 
is the only known genus closely allied to the organisms under consideration 
which occurs in insects other than termites—it being found in the intestine 
of the cockroach. In two works which appeared in the following years (1911 
and 1912), he dealt with the structure and multiplication of flagellates in the 
intestines of cockroaches and termites. The termites studied by him were 
two species of Calotermes (C . castaneus from Hawaii and C. grassii from Chile), 
and he established two new genera for their protozoa, viz., Parajoenia and 
Stephanonympha. In 1915 Janicki published a larger work, embodying the 
results of his further studies on the organisms harboured by the above two 
species of termites. In this paper he described seven forms, referred to the 
five genera Devescovina, Parajoenia, Stephanonympha, Oxymonas, Foaina 
(the last two being new), and several flagellates of uncertain genera, together 
with his studies on division, his views on the systematics of the group, and 
some other items. 
During the years 1910-1913, Bugnion (partly with his co-workers, Popoff 
and Ferriere) published several papers dealing with the termites of Ceylon 
and the casts of termites generally. In these works, descriptions and figures 
of several intestinal protozoa were given, which are, however, not calculated 
to enrich our knowledge of these organisms. In 1912 appeared two works 
by Comes, dealing with the development of Pyrsonympha (a preliminary note 
for one of these (1910 a) had appeared two years before), and in 1914 another 
paper describing a species of “ Monocercomonas" found in Termes lucifugus 
and Calotermes jlavicollis. In all of the papers by Comes there are many 
mistakes in identification of genera and wrong understandings of several 
forms. 
In 1915 Zulueta gave a description of nuclear division in a species of 
“ Dinenympha” studied in Spain. Dogiel (1916) soon afterwards described 
four species of protozoa harboured by a Phinotermes (?) from Uganda, re¬ 
ferring them to three genera, viz. Trichomonas (Tetratrichomonas), Giganto- 
monas, and Myxomonas, the latter two being newly established. In 1916 also 
appeared a work by Fran 9 a, dealing with organisms referred to two genera, 
Trichonympha and Leidya (gen. nov.), in the Leucotermes of Portugal; and 
three more papers (Fran 9 a, 1918, 1918 a, 1918 b) were published later, which 
embodied the results of his further studies and his opinions on the classification 
of these forms. The two genera (Leidya and Caduceia) established by him, 
however, are probably synonyms of Spirotrichonympha and Devescovina 
respectively. 
In 1917 appeared a large work by Grassi, which contains the descriptions 
of many forms found in Porotermes adamsoni from Australia, Epicalotermes 
aethiopicus from Eritrea, Coptotermes sjostedti from French Guinea, Copto-
