- Deskripsi ulang rayap tanah (Subulitermes-branch): Oriensubulitermes inanis (Haviland) (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) di Indonesia
Abstract
Oriensubulitermes inanis (Haviland) merupakan salah satu jenis rayap endemik dari Wilayah Oriental dan berperan sangat penting dalam proses dekomposisi di hutan tropis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsi ulang rayap O. inanis yang dikoleksi dari Indonesia sehingga dapat membantu berbagai pihak dalam identifikasi rayap di Indonesia. Pengoleksian rayap di lapangan dilakukan dengan Standardized Sampling Protocol (Jones & Eggketon 2000) dan konfirmasi keakuratan taksonomi dilakukan di the Natural History Museum UK) dan Florida University (USA). Koloni rayap O. inanis yang ditemukan sebanyak 21 koloni dari berbagai habitat dan ketinggian di Indonesia. Karakter mandible kasta pekerja merupakan karakter penting yang sangat efektif dalam identifikasi O. inanis. Rayap ini tersebar hampir di semua pulau-pulau utama di Kawasan Asia Tenggara, diantaranya Malay Peninsula, Borneo, dan Sumatra, akan tetapi tidak ditemukan di Jawa. Batang kayu lapuk, pangkal pohon, serta sarang rayap lainnya (epigeal mounds) merupakan media yang dipergunakan untuk mendirikan sarangnya. Jumlah individu dalam koloni yang relatif sedikit, kemampuan beradaptasi yang lemah terhadap perubahan lingkungan, kemampuan terbang laron yang terbatas, dan preferensi habitat sarang yang spesifik merupakan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penyebaran rayap O. inanis di Indonesia.
- Termitaria hysterioides sp. nov. (Kathistaceae), a novel termite ectoparasite from Vietnam
Abstract
The genus Termitaria is characterized by the formation of sporodochial lesions on the exoskeleton of termites. Specimens of Oriensubulitermes inanis (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) were collected in Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, Vietnam. All individuals were obtained from the same rotten branch lying on forest litter; 40 of the 61 individuals collected (66%) bore sporodochia. A single individual of Globitermes sulphureus (Termitidae: Amitermitinae), bearing a sporodochial lesion, was collected in Cat Tien National Park. Based on morphological characters, all lesions belong to the same species of Termitaria distinct from all previously described species. Thus, the new species, Termitaria hysterioides, is described. This species is characterized by small, typically hysterioid sporodochia, short phialides, a conidiogenous locus positioned at approximately one-third of the phialide length from its base, and small conidia arranged in chains of 11–13 per collarette. This is the first record of the genus Termitaria from Southeast Asia. This is also the first report of Oriensubulitermes inanis and Globitermes sulphureus as hosts of Termitaria.
- A review of the South-East Asian Nasutitermitinae (Isoptera: Termidae), with descriptions of one new genus and a new species and including a key to the genera
Abstract
This paper describes Snootitermes leuserensis, gen. et sp. nov. (collected from the Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra), Hirtitermes brabazoni sp. nov. (collected from north Sulawesi) and the major soldier of Ceylonitermes indicola. It also includes a revised generic key to the Nasutitermitinae of Peninsular Malaysia, Java, Sumatra and Borneo and reassigns the South-East Asian Subulitermes-group of termites to the Nasutitermes-group. Aciculioiditermes denticulatus and A. sarawakensis are considered to be junior synonyms of Aciculioiditermes holmgreni. The genera Aciculioiditermes and Proaciculitermes are considered to be junior synonyms of Malaysiotermes. Therefore Aciculioiditermes holmgreni, Proaciculitermes orientalis, P. sabahensis, P. malayanus and P. lowi are all Malaysiotermes species. Tho's (1982, 1992) unpublished new genus (Genus A) is considered to be a new species of Ceylonitermes. Oriensubulitermes borneensis is shown to be a Subulioiditermes species, S. borneensis. Nasutitermes matangensiformis is shown to be a junior synonym of N. matangensis. Havilanditermes is shown to be a junior synonym of Nasutitermes.
