Apicotermes holmgreni, a new species from Nyasaland, is described. 3. Apicotermes arquieri Grassé and Noirot is compared to other species and, with our present knowledge, is shown to be only ethologically distinct from A. occultus Silvestri. 4. The species described as Apicotermes aburiensis Sjöstedt is transferred to Allognathotermes aburiensis (Sjöstedt), new combination. 5. The terms 'ethospecies' and 'ethotype' are suggested for species and races primarily distinguished by their instinctive behavior. 6. The concept of the 'species' is discussed particularly as it applies to 'ethospecies' and to 'physiological species.' 7. The phylogeny of instinctive behavior among species of Apicotermes is substantiated"--P. 29.3557815 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQL1 .A436 no.1771, 1956ApicotermesAllognathotermesTermites -- AfricaInsects -- AfricaInsects -- Classification -- Philosophy.Termites -- Behavior.Termites -- Phylogeny.Species -- Philosophy.Insect societies.Insects -- Behavior.Insects -- Phylogeny.Animals -- Classification -- Philosophy.text
