(Fig. 39.) Type, soldier.—Csit. No. 21865, ' RETICULITERM ES HUMILIS Banks, var. HOFERI, new variety. Soldier.—Differs from Immilis in rather smaller head, in liaving the gula as wdde or a little wider than tvpical form, but noticeabty in the much longer, more slender man- dibles; these are plainly longer than the width of the head. Soldiers only known from Nogales, (T. E. Snyder, Coll.), and Sabino Canyon, Santa Catalina Mount- ains, Arizona (Geo. Hofer, Coll.). Type, soUier.—Csit. No. 21866, RETICULITERMES TUMICEPS, new species. Soldier.—^imilsiT to R. tibialis, rather larger, the gula usually a little more slender, but still broader than in many species; head about one and a half times as long as broad in front, but plainly broader behind than in front, especially noticeable when seen from beneath; mandibles about as broad as head in front; hairs fairly numerous; labrum about as in R. • tibialis. Pronotum considerably narrowed behind, but little indented in front; the femora are rather more swollen than in R. tibialis. (Fig. 38,2.) Although I can not associate a winged form with these soldiers, the shape of head induces me to think that they represent a new species. Stratton, Santa CataMna Mountains, Arizona, 6,000 to 7,000 feet, 27 July, 1917 (W. M. Wheeler). Type, soldier.—Csit. No. 10543, RETICULITERMES LUCIFUGUS Rossi. Colonies of this European species have recently been found at Stony Brook and other localities near
