Abstract

Based on a reexamination of specimens of Crepititermes Emerson deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de So Paulo, So Paulo, Brasil (MZUSP), we characterize the morphology and coiling in situ of the digestive tube of workers of Crepititermes verruculosus Emerson for the first time. We provide additional notes on the imago and soldier and present digital images and illustrations for all castes. We also update the currently known geographical distribution of C. verruculosus, adding some biological remarks. (AU)
