Abstract

The taxonomy of the neotropical termite genus Diversitermes Holmgren 1912 is revised. Three species are recognized as valid: D. castaniceps (Holmgren 1910), D. diversimiles (Silvestri 1901) and D. tiapuan, sp. n. Identification keys based on soldiers and workers are presented. Diversitermes aporeticus Mathews 1977 is transferred to the genus Velocitermes Holmgren 1912. Diversitermes needhami Roonwal, Chhotani & Verma 1981 is a junior synonym of Velocitermes heteropterus (Silvestri 1901), and D. eidmanni Roonwal, Chhotani & Verma 1981 is a junior synonym of D. castaniceps (Holmgren 1910). Eutermes strelnicovi John 1920 (=Nasutitermes strelnicovi) is a junior synonym of D. diversimiles. All castes of the three valid species are described and illustrated. Distribution maps are presented for all species.

摘要

新热带区白蚁属Diversitermes Holmgren 1912的分类学得到修订。确认有三个有效物种：栗头Diversitermes castaniceps（Holmgren 1910）、异形Diversitermes diversimiles（Silvestri 1901）和新物种蒂亚普安Diversitermes tiapuan。给出了基于兵蚁和工蚁的鉴定检索表。1977年的多孔Diversitermes aporeticus Mathews被转移到1912年的敏捷白蚁属Velocitermes Holmgren。1981年的尼氏Diversitermes needhami Roonwal、Chhotani & Verma是异翅敏捷白蚁Velocitermes heteropterus（Silvestri 1901）的次异名，1981年的艾氏Diversitermes eidmanni Roonwal、Chhotani & Verma是栗头Diversitermes castaniceps（Holmgren 1910）的次异名。描述并图示了这三个有效物种的所有品级。给出了所有物种的分布图。
