Abstract
Euhamitermes Holmgren is a soldier rare, soil feeding termite of the Oriental region. Two species of this genus viz., Euhamitermes lighti (Snyder) and Euhamitermes chhotanii Maiti are hereby first reported from southern Indian states of Karnataka and Kerala, respectively. Record of E. chhotanii in Kerala makes an addition of the genus and thus to the termite fauna of Kerala. These two species are redescribed and illustrated based on soldier and workers.
