Abstract: The knowledge of insect biodiversity in natural areas of Argentina is limited, and termites are among the understudied taxa. In order to assess the diversity of Isoptera in some protected areas of the country, termite sampling within three National Parks of the Northeast region of Argentina was developed during 1995-1999. The results presented in this paper correspond to the Chaco National Park (Province of Chaco), Iguassu National Park (Province of Misiones) and Mburucuya National Park (Province of Corrientes… Show more

“…The termites Nasutitermes aquilinus (Holmgren, 1910) and Cortaritermes fulvicep s (Silvestri, 1901) are widely distributed in the Parana River Basin in South America [ 23 , 24 ]. The selection of these species was based on their relative abundance in the northeast Region of Argentina (NEA) and on their different nutritional habits.…”

“…Entretanto, Microcerotermes não apresenta distribuição precisa de espécies (Constantino, 1999). Algumas espé-cies pertencentes a esses gêneros habitam áreas urbanas, como Heterotermes tenuis Hagen (1858) Dianese, 2001), Nasutitermes coxipoensis Holmgren (1910) (Laffont et al, 2004), Nasutitermes sp. (Mello, 2011) e Microcerotermes strunckii Sörensen (1884) (Laffont et al, 2004).…”

“…M. strunckii ocorreu em apenas duas coletas, contudo, podem ocasionar danos nas residências devido às potencialidades de infestação, principalmente em árvores (Constantino, 1999). Constantino (2002) e Laffont et al (2004) também encontraram M. strunckii em áreas urbanas.…”

“…C. fulviceps builds mounds and is a polyphagous insect that feeds on leaves, roots and stems of various gramineous plants, as well as wood. By contrast, N. aquilinus inhabits live and dead trees and is a strict wood-feeder (monophagous) that consumes hardwoods or softwoods in dry, wet or decaying state 38 .…”
