Thus, on the evidence available, it seems that sev- eral species of Microtermes occur only in a single type of vegetation. This is not unusual, as in vegetation type 21, ten species of Trinervitermes occur; six are sympatric in the west, and four each in the east, the central area and the south of the Ethiopian Region (Sands, 1967).
