“…Taxa assigned to the Termitinae feed on diverse substrates, including wood, soil, humus and litter (Donovan et al, 2001; Hellemans, Šobotník, et al, 2022; Hellemans, Wang, et al, 2022), and have soldiers with various defence strategies combining chemical and/or physical weapons (Šobotník et al, 2010). Despite the huge diversity of Termitidae in the Afrotropics (Krishna et al, 2013), only six genera with soldiers having non‐snapping mandibles ( Amitermes Silvestri, Cephalotermes Silvestri, Eremotermes Silvestri, Forficulitermes Emerson, Microcerotermes Silvestri and Tuberculitermes Holmgren) and six genera with soldiers having snapping mandibles ( Angulitermes Sjöstedt, Capritermes Wasmann, Pericapritermes Silvestri, Promirotermes Silvestri, Quasitermes Emerson and Termes Linnaeus) are assigned to Termitinae (Constantino, 2020).…”
