The first description of <i>Speculitermes dharwarensis</i> Roonwal and Chhotani (Blattodea: Termitidae: Apicotermitinae) soldier caste with additional records of distribution

Records of the Zoological Survey of India
The Oriental termite genus, Speculitermes (Termitidae: Apicotermitinae) was previously considered soldierless, as soldiers are rarely encountered. Among the 12 species of Speculitermes, soldier caste is described only for three species. Herewith we report hitherto undescribed soldier caste of S.

Ocorrência De Gregarinas (Protozoa: Apicomplexa) No Mesêntero De Operários De Ruptitermes Pitan E Ruptitermes Reconditus (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae)

, 2017
Gregarinas parasitas são comuns em invertebrados, principalmente em insetos. Estes protozoários apresentam um ciclo de vida com um estágio endógeno, no interior do corpo do inseto e um estágio exógeno, relacionado a condições ambientais externas. Infecções por gregarinas ocorrem quando insetos ingerem acidentalmente oocistos (cistos maduros), os quais ...

Ekueitermes alerosinus, a new genus and species of soldierless termite from Colombia (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae)

A new genus and species of soldierless termite, Ekueitermes alerosinus gen. et sp. nov., is described from Colombia based on morphological and molecular evidence. The diagnostic characters for the new taxon are a mixed segment with a short, non-inflated mesenteric tongue, a very short and tubular P1, a well-differentiated tubular enteric valve seating,

Diminishing the taxonomic gap in the neotropical soldierless termites: descriptions of four new genera and a new Anoplotermes species (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae)

Diminishing the taxonomic gap in the neotropical soldierless termites: descriptions of four new genera and a new Anoplotermes species (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae)
The neotropical Apicotermitinae is a common and widespread clade of mostly soil-feeding soldierless termites. With few exceptions, species of this group were originally assigned to the genus Anoplotermes Müller, 1873. The application of internal worker morphology coupled with genetic sequencing has recently shed light on the true diversity of this ...

The ultrastructure of the intramandibular gland in soldiers of the termite Machadotermes rigidus (Blattodea: Termitidae: Apicotermitinae)

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2022
Machadotermes is one of the basal Apicotermitinae genera, living in tropical West Africa. Old observations suggested the presence of a new gland, the intramandibular gland, in Machadotermes soldiers. Here, by combining micro-computed tomography, optical and electron microscopy, we showed that the gland exists in Machadotermes soldiers only as an active

Three‐dimensional visualization of termite (Apicotermitinae) enteric valve using confocal laser scanning microscopy [PDF]

Journal of Microscopy, 2014
SummaryHumivorous termites are dominant members of tropical rainforest soil communities. In the soil‐feeding subfamily Apicotermitinae (Termitidae), the enteric valve connecting the first section of the hindgut to the paunch often displays a complex sclerotized armature everted towards the lumen of the paunch.

The soldierless Apicotermitinae: insights into a poorly known and ecologically dominant tropical taxon

Insectes Sociaux, 2015
Termites are among the most important animals in tropical ecosystems where they often make up over 10 % of the total animal biomass and enhance ecosystem productivity. While termites in general have been the focus of a reasonable amount of work, this effort is not equally distributed among taxonomic groups.
