Abstract
Termites are among the most primitive of living insects, and they are well-known as fossils from the Tertiary, particularly in the Old World. In the Western Hemisphere, fossil termites are found in the Eocene of Tennessee (Collins, 1925), and in the Miocene shales of Florissant, Colorado (Scudder, S., 1883; Cockerell, T.D.A., 1913; Snyder, T.E., 1925), while fossilized fecal pellets were described by Rogers (1928; 1938) from the Pliocene of California and by Light ( 1930) from the Pleistocene of Florida.
