   Abstract

   The following paper is intended as a contribution towards a knowledge of the structure and biology of Archotermopsis wroughtoni, Desn., one of the most primitive of living Termites. Included herewith are also observations and deductions bearing upon some of the more important general biological problems which are associated with the Isoptera. Archotermopsis wroughtoni was described 12 years ago by Desneux from examples taken by Wroughton in June, 1903. They were discovered in old stumps of trees, chiefly Pinus excelsa, in the Kashmir Valley. Since its discovery, this species has remained a great rarity, and practically nothing had been ascertained concerning its biology. In June, 1910, I first came across this insect in a decaying fallen trunk of Pinus excelsa, in a forest area situated between the Kuari Pass and Ramni, at an altitude of about 8,500 feet, in the Himalayas of British Garwhal. In the same month during 1912 I had the good fortune to meet with it in great abundance in a dead fallen trunk of Pinus longifolia near Dharmoti, in the Ranikhet District. This locality is situated at an altitude of about 4,000 feet in the Kumaon Himalaya. Being aware of the biological and phylogenetic interest likely to be afforded by a study of this species, I made a prolonged search in many other likely localities in the North Western Himalayas during the years 1912-13. It was subsequently found plentifully at Bhowali, near Naini Tal, at an elevation of 5,800 feet, near Nadh in the Ohakrata District of Jaunsar, and I have also been able to procure examples from near Gulmerg in Kashmir. It seems probable, therefore, that it will eventually be found to be generally distributed in the lower-level coniferous forests of the North Western Himalayas, up to an elevation of about 9,000 feet.
