Text Appearing Before Image:
loxera makes its appearance, it comes as our Ameri-can friends put it, to stay, so that no measures, howeverstringent, can be too severe, and when we know thatthe insects have been found on roots which have been leftin the soil for six years, it will be easily seen with what apersistent and dreadful scourge we have to deal. 136 DKSTKUCTIVE INSECTS OF VICTORIA.

Text Appearing After Image:
.an* Dti ■ THE VICTORIAN WHITE ANT. 137 CHAPTER XXXVI. THE VICTORIAN WHITE ANT. (Termes Australis. Hag en.)Order : Neuroptera. Family : Termitidce. The so-called White Ant, which in reality has no affinitywhatever to the true ants, the latter belonging to a differentorder (Hymenoptera), and in many respects also differingin economy from those of the latter insects. The White Ant is a small yellowish-white and soft-bodied insect, which, however, to the ordinary observer, isin general appearance not unlike an ant, and may easilybe mistaken for such. In Victoria these insects are of small size, rangingfrom 3 to 4 lines in length ; the wings being from about8 to 10 lines, the tropical species being of a muchlarger size. Of these singular insects there are a number of dif-ferent species, as many as 41 having been given in theBritish Museum catalogue, published in 1852, as beingin the collection of that noole institution, and but littledifference, comparatively speaking, has been observed
