Twenty-five species of worker-termites from Trat and Chanthaburi Provinces were examined. Only five species of these termites contained seven species of flagellate protozoans living in their hind-gut. The termite, Glyptotermes brevicaudatus found only 1 species of protozoan: Devesconida vestita. The termite, Coptotermes gastroi and C. curvignathus found 2 species of protozoans; Spirotrichonympha flagellata and spirotrichonympha sp. The other two species of termites, Schedorhinotermes medioobscrurus and S. rectangularis found 4 species of protozoans: Pseudotrichonympha grassi, Trichonympha agilis, T. campanula and T. spherica.
