Soil-feeding termites are dominant members of the soil fauna in lowland tropical rainforests. As ecosystem engineers, they have a profound effect on their environment, particularly through modification of the vast quantities of soil that they ingest. There is growing evidence that the processing of the soil in the gut is influenced by the enteric valve-

Species boundaries are traditionally inferred using morphological characters, although morphology sometimes fails to correctly delineate species. To overcome this limitation, researchers have widely taken advantage of alternative methods such as DNA barcoding or analysis of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHs) profiles, but rarely use them simultaneously in an

Key to the genera of New World Apicotermitinae(Isoptera: Termitidae)
1992Abstract The subfamily Apicotermitinae was first proposed by Grasse and Noirot (1954) and our present concept of the subfamily comes from the work of Sands (1972). The taxonomy of the New World Apicotermitinae is poorly known. Until 1976 38 species had been described, in the genera Speculitermes and Anoplotermes; the last species ...

Associations between bees and termites are documented infrequently, but records are available for bee species ranging in behavior from solitary to highly eusocial. The subtribe Meliponina (stingless bees) is the most common bee group reported in termite nests, and, for some species, the occupancy of termite nests may be obligatory.

Two new termite species, Speculitermes latalabrum sp. nov. from the subfamily Apicotermitinae Grassé and Noirot, 1955 and Labiocapritermes ghatensis sp. nov. belonging to the subfamily Mirocapritermitinae Kemner, 1934 are described and illustrated here based on the morphological characters of the soldiers and workers.

The taxonomy of Neotropical Apicotermitinae, considering the absence of a soldier caste, requires identification to be based on morphological characters of workers and imagoes, especially the characteristics of the gut coiling pattern, which, due to their complexity, demand specialized training.

Termites are abundant in neotropical ecosystems, and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest is no exception to this fact. A multitude of factors have left this biodiversity hotspot at a mere 11% of its original size, mainly caused by human activity (agriculture, urbanization, lumber harvesting, etc.).
