1. Compositermes bani sp.n. (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae), a new species of soldierless termite from Bolivia

   摘要

   Species of neotropical Apicotermitinae (Termitidae) are soldierless, restricting species identification in this group to workers or seasonally present winged imagos. All neotropical Apicotermitinae were placed in the genus Anoplotermes, until Mathews (1977) described two new genera, Grigiotermes and Ruptitermes. Fontes (1986) described two more genera, Aparatermes and Tetimatermes. Twenty years passed without any taxonomic advances in this group until Scheffrahn et al. 2006 described two new Anoplotermes species from the West Indies and Bourguignon et al. 2010 described Longustitermes manni, (=Anoplotermes manni Snyder), Anoplotermes janus, and placed six other species into synonymy. Finally, Scheffrahn 2013 described a new genus and species, Compositermes vindai, characterized by a ring of sclerotized paddles at the junction of the enteric valve seating (EVS) and paunch (P3).

2. Key to the genera of New World Apicotermitinae(Isoptera: Termitidae)

   摘要

   The subfamily Apicotermitinae was first proposed by Grasse and Noirot (1954) and our present concept of the subfamily comes from the work of Sands (1972). The taxonomy of the New World Apicotermitinae is poorly known. Until 1976 38 species had been described, in the genera Speculitermes and Anoplotermes; the last species described, dates from 1959. Mathews (1977) concluded that Speculitermes does not occur in the New World and added two new genera, Ruptitermes and Grigiotermes, with five and one species, respectively. Fontes (1986) described Tetimatermes and Aparatermes, both monotypic. The five New World genera comprise a total of 41 species, and the generic assignment of about 30 species (now in Anoplotermes and Ruptitermes) should be re-evaluated. Three facts may have contributed strongly to the scarcity of taxonomic studies on the group. Termite taxonomy is based largely on the soldier caste, with alate and worker castes of the soldierless New World Apicotermitinae being less attractive to termite taxonomists. Most soldierless termites are small and have a subterranean habit, being found in galleries rather diffuse in the soil or inside mounds built by other termites; collection is thus more difficult. Finally, dissection of the worker digestive tube is fundamental for a solid taxonomic study of the group (Sands 1972; Mathews 1977; Fontes 1985, 1986) and the study of this structure is not always easy.
