Two new species of open-air processional termites, Lacessititermes yamanei n. sp. and Hospitalitermes seikii n. sp. (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae), are described from Sumatra, Indonesia. The entirely black rostrum separates L. yamanei from the other Lacessititermes species. Gold-orange abdominal tergites and strongly constricted head capsule are unique to H. seikii among the Hospitalitermes species. Keys to the seven species of Lacessititermes and nine species of Hospitalitermes so far known from Sumatra are given. © 2009 Malaysian Nature Society.
