Morphology
Soldier
Head yellow with the frontal region slightly paler, mandibles slightly deeper than the head with reddish brown tips, antennae pale yellow, labrum nearly the colour of the head, pronotum pale yellow, legs pale yellow, abdomen white; the head with rather many short hairs and scattered rather long hairs, the pronotum with fewer hairs than the head, the abdomen rather densely haired. Head nearly rectangular, widest at the antennal sockets, slightly narrowing backwards; the frontal region slightly concave, the fontanelle a small but distinct point at about the apical third; labrum wider than long, its anterior margin rather flat and slightly concave in the middle; the base of the mandibles broad and the tip sharp and curved inwards, the two nearly symmetrical, each with one marginal tooth at the apical third, its posterior margin much longer than its anterior margin, the middle and posterior part of the left mandible with another distinct small tooth; the postmentum rather stout and long, narrowest at the basal third; antennae with 14 segments, the second slightly longer than the third and nearly equal to the fourth; pronotum saddle-shaped, its anterior part not longer than the posterior, the anterior margin projecting, the posterior margin broadly rounded with an indistinct median notch, the lateral lobes rather distinct.

Mandibles have broad bases and incurved pointed tips, each with a marginal tooth near the apical third, and the left also bears small teeth behind the middle.

- New Records of Euhamitermes Holmgren From South India
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.
