Summary
Indian tablets attacked byCoptotermes heimi (Wasmann, 1902) were covered with withish gray faeces of termites. The rosewood(Dalbergia lalitolia) was not eaten by termites, only the bone intarsia bear short tunnels. There were dead solders only, mostly corroded heads. Below intarsia living Embioptera, perhapsPseudembia flava (Ross, 1943) were found in their webs. There were many larval exuvies ofAlphitobius laevigatus (Fabricius, 1781) and some living adults.
