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.
Original description: Unguitermes Sjöstedt, 1924b: 257.
Type species: Procubitermes bidentatus Silvestri, 1914 by original designation.
The references above follow Krishna K., Grimaldi D. A., Krishna V., Engel M. S. (2013) Treatise on the Isoptera of the World, Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 377; the Treatise records literature leads only and contains no morphological description, so it is not used here to write one.
