The termite subfamily Apicotermitinae (Termitidae) is extremally abundant in neotropical soils. Besides that, this subfamily is the less known group among termites, being the highest taxonomic challenge in the Termitology. The aim of this project is to contribute to the state of knowledge of the neotropical Apicotermitinae, especially in the Amazon. We will study 2.553 samples collected i…
The subfamily Apicotermitinae (Termitidae) is the least studied group within Termitidae. This is mainly because most species in this group lack a soldier caste, and the majority of the diagnostic characteristics of other termite groups are found in this caste. A large part of the diagnostic features of Apicotermitinae species are concentrated in the digestive tube and mandibles, so a diss…
The Campo Rupestre (CR) is a singular and important environment for conservation concerns, once it has a high, but neglected, biodiversity and endemism. It occurs in mountainous formations with high altitudes and is characterized by the presence of outcrop rocky of quartzite, sandstone or ironstone, and a mosaic vegetation, especially herbaceous-shrub. Termites (Blattaria: Isoptera) are e…
The subfamily Apicotermitinae (Termitidae) is probably the least studied group oftermites, mainly because most of the species from this subfamily has no soldiers, and theyusually used to identify termites. The characteristics that differentiate the Apicotermitinaeworkers are concentrated in the digestive tube, however the dissection and manipulationrequire training and practice. This Scie…
The genus Heterotermes comprises 50 described species in the world. Nine of these occur in the Neotropical region, being Heterotermes tenuis (Hagen, 1858) the species with the widest distribution: occurring from south Mexico to North of Argentina, besides the Bahamas and Antilles. Until 1924, H. tenuis was the only know species from South America. Until today, although other species are k…

Nine of these occur in the Neotropical region, including Heterotermes tenuis (Hagen, 1858) the species with the widest distribution: occurring from Southern Mexico to Northern Argentina, and the West Indies. The termite collection housed in the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center, University of Florida, US (FTLD), …
