Popis: | Heterotermes ferox (Froggatt) auctt. is shown to be a complex of species, each characterized by the composition of cuticular hydrocarbons in the worker, by canonical variate scores calculated from eight measurements of the soldier, and by small differences in the size and shape of the alate. H.ferox is redefined and two species are described, H.brevicatena sp.n. and H.longicatena sp.n. |
