Terpene biosynthesis by nasute termite soldiers (Isoptera: Nasutitermitinae)
Insect Biochemistry, 1981Solutions of the labelled precursors [U14C]-d-glucose, [1-14C]-sodium acetate, [2-14C]-sodium acetate, [2-14C]-RS-mevalonic acid sodium salt and [3-14C]-R--mevalonic acid sodium salt were injected into the abdomens of soldiers of the Neotropical termite Nasutitermes octopilis (Banks) (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae).

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2023
The soil-feeding habit is an evolutionary novelty found in some advanced groups of termites. The study of such groups is important to revealing interesting adaptations to this way-of-life. The genus Verrucositermes is one such example, characterized by peculiar outgrowths on the head capsule, antennae and maxillary palps, which are not found in any ...

Trinervita-1(15),8(19)-dien-2β,3α-diol and the new trinervita-1(15),8(19)-dien-2β, 3α-diol 2-O-acetate constitute the major diterpene constituents of the soldier defense secretions of the NasutitermiteHospitalitermes umbrinus of Malaysian region. Studies on the intraspecific variations on sympatric and allopatric populations indicate two distinct ...

A review of the Nasutitermitinae (Isoptera: Termitidae) from India
Oriental Insects, 1983Abstract Members of the subfamily Nasutitermitinae are widely distributed throughout the tropics. This subfamily is the highest evolved one, and is also the largest subfamily in the Order Isoptera. The direction of evolutionary advancement in the subfamily Nasutitermitinae is the gradual reduction of the mandibles of the soldier caste accompanied by ...

The nasus gland: A new gland in soldiers of Angularitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2015Termites have developed many exocrine glands, generally dedicated to defence or communication. Although a few of these glands occur in all termite species, or represent synapomorphies of larger clades, others are morphological innovations of a single species, or a few related species. Here, we describe the nasus gland, a new gland occurring at the base

The defense secretion of the soldier termites ofCurvitermes strictinasus Mathews has been analyzed. Seven components have been isolated and identified, including limonene, terpinolene,p-cymen-8-ol, tridecan-2-one, tridecen-2-onecis,trans-farnesal, andtrans,trans-farnesal.

Zootaxa, 2016
The taxonomy of the neotropical termite genus Diversitermes Holmgren 1912 is revised. Three species are recognized as valid: D. castaniceps (Holmgren 1910), D. diversimiles (Silvestri 1901) and D. tiapuan, sp. n. Identification keys based on soldiers and workers are presented.

The monoterpenoid fraction of the defensive secretion in Nasutitermitinae from Papua New Guinea
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1988Abstract The composition of the monoterpenoid fraction of the defensive frontal secretion is elucidated in eight Nasutitermitinae species, namely: Grallatotermes grallator, Nasutitermes gracilirostris, N. novarumhebridarum, N. polygynus, N. princeps, N. rufirostris and two undescribed Nasutiterrnes .
