It is described by Holmgren under E. nigriceps, but his nasuti are another form. Type, winged adult.—Cat. No. 21869, Genus ANOPLOTERMES Fritz Muller. Winged.—Head broader than long; clypeus long, hardly twice as broad as long; ocelli distinct; no apparent fontanelle or very minute; mandibles elongate, about once and a half longer than in allied genera; gula small, broader than long; antennae of about 15 joints, joints 2, 3, and 4, all very short; front wing scale small; wings moder- ately long, margin cihated, membrane not noticeably hairy; median vein runs close to the cubitus, with several branches before tip, cubitus ending some distance before tip. (PI. 4, fig. 2.) Legs short, hind pair scarcely reaching tip of abdomen; tibia with two apical spines. Body and legs densely hairy. Soldier.—No soldier has been found, and doubtless does not exist ANOPLOTERMES FUMOSUS Hagen. Winged.—Head dark brown, clyp- eus dark, mouth parts paler; prono- tum and segments of abdomen brown; legs yellowish. Head short, broader from eye to eye than long from clyp- eus to occiput; clypeus very large; labrum long, rounded at tip; mandi- bles elongate, projecting below head; Fig. of anoploter- eyes round, less than one-third diam- MEs FUMOSUS. q^qj. fj-Qm lowef margin of head; ocelli oblique, fully their long diameter from eye; fontanelle not visi- ble.
