Extract

An illustrated account of a new species of Stephanonympha from the Brazilian termite, Neotermes hirtellus Silvestri, is given.

An historical introduction provides concise accounts of the previously described species of Stephanonympha.

The morphology of the new Stephanonympha is described in detail and illustrated.

Differential characters from previously described species of Stephanonympha are noted, the conclusion being that the Stephanonympha, of Neotermes hirtellus is a new species from a new host, to which the name Stephanonympha campinae n.sp. is given.
