Soldier-specific chemicals of the termiteCurvitermes strictinasus Mathews (Isoptera, Nasutitermitinae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1981
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.

A review of the Nasutitermitinae (Isoptera: Termitidae) from India

Oriental Insects, 1983
Abstract 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, 2015
Termites 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

A taxonomic revision of the neotropical termite genus Diversitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

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.

Defence secretion of the black termite, Grallatotermes africanus (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) [PDF]

open access: yesInsect Biochemistry, 1979
Abstract The monoterpene and diterpene components of the soldier defence secretion of the nasute termite Grallatotermes africanus (Harris) (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) have been identified by microspectrometric methods. The diterpenes possess the tricyclic trinervitane and tetracyclic kempane skeletons commonly found among soldiers of ...

A taxonomic revision of the soil-feeding termite genus Anhangatermes (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

Zootaxa, 2014
The taxonomy of Anhangatermes Constantino 1990 is revised. Four new species are described: Anhangatermes anhanguera, sp. n., Anhangatermes eurycephalus, sp. n., Anhangatermes juruena, sp. n., and Anhangatermes pilosus, sp. n. The imago of Anhangatermes is described for the first time (A. pilosus). A key to the species of the genus based on soldiers and

Phylogenetic relationship of the termite genera of the subfamily Nasutitermitinae (Isoptera : Termitidae)

Oriental Insects, 1968
Abstract The phylogeny of the genera of the subfamily Nasutitermitinae is discussed. The closest ally of Nasutitermitinae seems to be Macrotermitinae, the fungus cultivating termites. On the basis of structures of imago-worker mandibles, a diphyletic evolution of the genera of Nasutitermitinae from the primitive genus Syntermes is suggested.

Soldier defense secretions of malaysian free-ranging termite of the genusLacessititermes (Isoptera, Nasutitermitinae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990
Soldiers of free-ranging termites of the genusLacessititermes (Isoptera, Nasutitermitinae) secrete from their frontal glands a mixture of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and diterpenes.Lacessititermes ransoneti, L. laborator, andL. species A produce species-specific secretions, the composition being most complex forL. laborator.
