Piribebuy (-25.5368, -57.0244), elev. 229, 27 May 2012, R. Scheffrahn et al., UFTC no. PA89 containing 2 soldiers, 12 alates, and many pseudergates. The types were not examined, but the soldier measurements in Silvestri (1903: 36) and photographs in Holmgren (1911; pl. 4, figs 14, 15) of  C. lobicephalus are of excellent quality. The measurements agree with those in Table 2 and the photographs show the characteristically deeply bilobed frons and its steep angle from the vertex (Figs 5, 6C) that are unique for  Glyptotermes soldiers of this region  .</p><p>Redescription.</p><p>Winged Imago (Fig. 4, Table 1). Head medium brown, pronotum light brown (castaneus in live habitus, Fig. 6D). Postclypeus hyaline; labrum light orange-brown. Fore wing scales concolorous with pronotum. Femora and tibiae concolorous with labrum. In lateral view, vertex of head with about 12 scattered setae of medium length. In dorsal view, pronotum with about 8-10 setae of various lengths along lateral margins; in lateral view, about 4-6 setae in line, each with anterior and posterior margins; a few in middle. Eyes medium small, dark gray, occupying about one-third the distance midway between vertex and genal margin; ellipsoid with rectate margin at antennal socket. Ocelli orange, nearly circular; one fifth their diameter from eye. Arolia present.</p><p>Soldier (Fig. 5, Table 2). Head, in lateral view, grading from light orange at the cervical margin to dark brown at frons (darker in live habitus, Fig. 6C). Mandibles concolorous with frons. Head capsule much longer than wide; about as wide as high; in dorsal view, posterior wider than width at genal horns. Frontal horns absent. Pronotum more than twice as wide as long, widest near front third; anterior and posterior margins evenly curved, nearly parallel. In all views, setae sparse and uneven in length; no setae on basal hump of mandibles. Mandibles robust, form about one third of total head length; curve apically near anterior half, humps at basal fourth angular beyond outer blades. Dentition as in Fig. 5. Frons bilobed, lobes and frons rugose. Frontal furrow between lobes extends to middle of frons. Angle formed by vertex and frons about 90°; lateral view of frons with very small elevations near base; insufficient to constitute horns. Eye spots very faint. In ventral view, posterior margin of postmentum narrower than middle. Genal horns acute, visible from above, span narrowest part of head capsule. Antenna with 12 articles; formula 2&gt; 3 &lt;4 &lt;5. Femora swollen.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Argentine record of  G. canellae from Torales et al.

Pronotum more than twice as wide as long, widest near front third; anterior margin weakly concave, posterior margin barely concave in middle.
