Kerala. Kozhikode. Kakkayam MWLS 762 m, 11.4990° N, 75.8950° E, 27.XII.2012, Amina Poovoli. Colony code: ZSI/ WGRC /IR/INV/4942. Holotype (Soldier); paratypes 6 pseudoworkers and 3 soldiers. — Colony code: ZSI/ WGRC /IR/INV/4943. Paratypes: 4 imagoes, 2 soldiers and 5 pseudoworkers.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. — The species is named Chiraharita meaning evergreen (in Sanskrit), after their evergreen forest habitat.</p> <p>BIOECOLOGY. — (Fig. 3) The large sized dead log on the forest floor, from which G. chiraharitae n. sp. was collected had a very high moisture content. Though the attack was not at all visible externally, the log when cut open, exposed several large holes sealed with their faecal pellets, dissolved in a muddy paste. Networks of hidden galleries meandering through the wood were also observed. Workers and soldiers were very slow and sluggish, probably due to their large size.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E1B8616065FFC1FC2005673CB1F803	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Margin between first and second marginal tooth of left mandible incurved; right mandible with posterior margin of second marginal tooth slightly longer than molar plate; radius of forewing short; radial sector highly sclerotised and without branches; radial sector and media running close to and parallel with costa upto distal tip; cubitus weak and not sclerotised.</p> <p>Soldier. Head-capsule subrectangular, cylindrical, more or less elongated, some species having a phragmotic head. Frons weakly to sharply inclining in front. Head distinctly or faintly bilobed with V or U shaped depression. Antero-dorsal protuberances prominently to faintly marked. Mandibles thick and stout and with a prominent dentition.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION IN INDIA. — Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>The generic identity of the specimens were confirmed, as per the concept of the genus presented by Roonwal &amp; Chhotani (1989), Eldridge (1996) and Bose (1999). Imago of Glyptotermes shows close resemblance to genus Calcaritermes Snyder, 1925 in wing venation, having sclerotised media which runs close and parallel to radial sector to the wing tip. The radial sector is not branched in both genera. The apical spur on the front tibia of Glyptotermes soldiers, is not as enlarged and greatly thickened as in those of Calcaritermes Snyder, 1925.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E1B8616065FFC1FC5101433CC8FAC7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
