Redescription
Soldiers with head robust, dark coloration in frons, nearly black, grading from ferruginous orange to orange-yellow toward vertex. Frons sloping between 43–50° to postclypeus, without a ridge and vestigial rugosity. Mandibles bended upwards, with a strong dentition and left mandible bigger than right. Mandibular humps pronounced. Eyes spot unpigmented. Third antennal article larger than second and fourth and sclerotized. Pronotum almost as broad as head width. Femur tick, short and strong. Tibal spurs 3:3:3.
Based on our measurements and morphological description, we developed an identification key for the three Proneotermes species
