Abstract (from the source)
Mirocapritermes hsuchiafui is a termite recorded from Yingjiang, Yunnan, at 870 m. The original account rests on five soldiers, and the text available here supplies only figures of the soldier head in dorsal and lateral view, without a written description of coloration, mandibular dentition or antennal segmentation. Neither alates nor workers are characterized in the source, so the species can at present be recognized only from its locality and from the proportions of the illustrated soldier head.
