Abstract
The Australian species of Glyptotermes Froggatt are revised and two new species, G. barretti and G. finniganensis, from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, are described. The following new synonymy is proposed: G. eucalypti Froggatt (=G. neotuberculatus (Hill)). The revision was based on a morphometric analysis of all available full series collections of Glyptotermes spp. held in Australian institutions. In addition to the above, the Australian species include G. brevicornis Froggatt, G. iridipennis Froggatt and G. tuberculatus Froggatt. Keys to the alate and soldier castes of the six Australian species now included in Glyptotermes are provided.
