Taxonavigation

Ordo: Isoptera
Familia: Stylotermitidae

Name

Prostylotermes Engel & Grimaldi gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

Type species

Prostylotermes kamboja Engel & Grimaldi, sp. n.

Diagnosis

Imago: Head subcircular (Figs 2A, 2B, 4A); compound eyes small, circular; ocelli apparently present, separated from compound eye by more than ocellar diameter (Fig. 4A); postclypeus short, weakly arched (Fig. 4A); antenna with 17 articles. Pronotum flat, narrower than head; tibial spurs 2-2-2; tarsi trimerous, with second tarsomere distinctly projected ventroapically, extension longer than dorsal length of second tarsomere (Fig. 4D). Forewing with scale overlapping base of hind wing scale, slightly larger than hind wing scale (Fig. 4C), scale without numerous setae over surface, with long setae along humeral margin (Fig. 4C) (other stylotermitids have numerous and relatively long setae over the entire scale surface). Cerci short, with two cercomeres (Figs 4E, 4F); styli present in male only, not extending to abdominal apex (Fig. 4F).

Etymology

The new genus-group name is a combination of pro (Greek, meaning “before”) and Stylotermes, type genus of the family. The name is masculine.
