Abstract (from the source)

This species is known from Bawan, Baoshan, Yunnan, at an elevation of 975 metres. The original description in the Chinese Fauna volume provides no soldier, alate or worker morphology for it, so no caste description can be given here. Its placement in Hypotermes follows the book treatment. Further material is needed before the diagnostic characters of the soldier, the winged reproductive and the worker can be characterised, and the biology of the colony remains unrecorded.
