Taxonavigation

Ordo: Isoptera
Familia: Rhinotermitidae

Name

Zophotermes Engel gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile

Type species

Zophotermes ashoki Engel & Singh, sp. n.

Diagnosis

Imago: Head not flattened, narrow oval in shape, with sides somewhat parallel (appears similar to condition in Heterotermitinae but there is some compression which may be obscuring slightly roundish borders), posterior margin even; postclypeus without nose-like projection, without groove from fontanelle to apex of labrum, short relative to width, somewhat arched (as in Prorhinotermitinae); compound eyes small; ocelli present. Pronotum flat, narrower than head, anterior margin with medial emargination (Fig. 5); tibial spurs 2-2-2 (3-2-2 in Prorhinotermes Silvestri, Psammotermitinae, and Heterotermitinae); tarsi tetramerous. Forewing with scale overlapping hind wing scale; M branching from CuA outside of scale (Fig. 5) (as in Prorhinotermitinae and Psammotermitinae); wing membrane with relatively few setae (as in Prorhinotermitinae).

Etymology

The new genus-group name is a combination of zophos (Greek, meaning, “nether world” or “gloom”), and Termes, type genus of the Termitidae. The name is masculine.
