1. A taxonomic revision of the neotropical termite genus Diversitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

   Danilo Elias de Oliveira, Reginaldo Constantino · 2016 · Zootaxa

   Resumen

   The taxonomy of the neotropical termite genus Diversitermes Holmgren 1912 is revised. Three species are recognized as valid: D. castaniceps (Holmgren 1910), D. diversimiles (Silvestri 1901) and D. tiapuan, sp. n. Identification keys based on soldiers and workers are presented. Diversitermes aporeticus Mathews 1977 is transferred to the genus Velocitermes Holmgren 1912. Diversitermes needhami Roonwal, Chhotani & Verma 1981 is a junior synonym of Velocitermes heteropterus (Silvestri 1901), and D. eidmanni Roonwal, Chhotani & Verma 1981 is a junior synonym of D. castaniceps (Holmgren 1910). Eutermes strelnicovi John 1920 (=Nasutitermes strelnicovi) is a junior synonym of D. diversimiles. All castes of the three valid species are described and illustrated. Distribution maps are presented for all species.

2. Phylogeny of the New Termite Genus Terrenitermes from Hispaniola (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

   Virginia Ann Spaeth · 1967 · Annals of the Entomological Society of America

   Resumen

   The new, monotypic genus Terrenitermes has Constrictotermes toussainti N. Banks, known only from Hispaniola, as its type-species. The genus, which appears to be South American in origin, is intermediate between Diversitermes and Velocitermes. Diversitermes has 3 soldier castes in each of its species; Terrenitermes, only 2. Of these, the major is nearest related to the major soldier of 1 species of Diversitermes; the minor, to the intermediate soldier of a different Diversitermes species. The 2 soldier castes of Terrenitermes, however, are found not to be related to the major and intermediate castes which occur together in any single species of Diversitermes. By definition, Velocitermes (from which T. toussainti is here removed) has soldier castes related to the intermediate and minor castes, but not to the major caste, of Diversitermes.

3. Muelleritermes: A new termite genus with two species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

   Danilo Elias de Oliveira, Mauricio M. Rocha, Eliana M. Cancello · 2015 · Zootaxa

   Resumen

   We present the description of Muelleritermes, new genus, and two new species: M. fritzi, sp. n. and M. globiceps, sp. n. Both species were found only in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil. All castes are described and illustrated, and a distribution map is provided. These species seem to be closely related to the genera Velocitermes and Diversitermes, sharing traits such as the presence of three types of soldiers and workers and a short mixed segment. This genus differs from Velocitermes and Diversitermes in the presence of a few ommatids on soldier's head, behind the antennae. It also differs from Velocitermes in the lack of a constriction on the head of major soldiers, and from Diversitermes in the presence of short hairs on top of the soldier's head, instead of microscopic ones.
