Abstract (from the source)
No descriptive text survives for this species in the source, which supplies only a plate caption, so neither soldier nor alate characters can be summarized. The species is retained in the genus Euhamitermes, and the sole data recorded are from Qiongzhong in Hainan. Its caste morphology therefore remains to be documented from fresh material, and the name rests on the original combination rather than on any redescription given in the volume.
