Morphology
The morphological description for this genus has yet to be written from the primary literature. Listed below are the original description reference and the type species, for consultation; these are literature leads, not a description.

Type species: Trapellitermes loxomastax Sands, 1995 by original designation.
The references above follow Krishna K., Grimaldi D. A., Krishna V., Engel M. S.
