A survey on termite species composition was conducted in Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary, Sarawak in February 2015. Overall 19 species of termite belonging to 13 genera and 8 subfamilies was found in the sanctuary. It was recorded the subfamily of Termitinae had the highest number of species (6 species, equal to 31.58% of total species), followed by Nasutermitinae (3 species, 15.79%), Macrotermitinae, Amitermitinae, Rhinotermitinae, Coptotermitinae, (2 species, 10.53% respectively), and Heterotermitinae, Termitogetoninae (1 species, 5.26% respectively). Since this rapid survey is the first termite assemblage representation in Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary, the preliminary result may serve as the baseline data for termite composition in the area. Therefore, a whole coverage for the area within this sanctuary would definitely increase the number of termite species found in the sanctuary.
2015年2月，在沙捞越的萨姆萨姆野生动物保护区对白蚁物种组成进行了一项调查。在该保护区共发现了属于13个属和8个亚科的19种白蚁。记录显示，白蚁亚科的物种数量最多（6种，占总物种数的31.58%），其次是鼻白蚁亚科（3种，占15.79%）、大白蚁亚科、艾氏白蚁亚科、鼻白蚁科、土白蚁科（各2种，分别占10.53%），以及异白蚁亚科、土白蚁属（各1种，分别占5.26%）。由于此次快速调查是萨姆萨姆野生动物保护区首次对白蚁群落的代表性调查，初步结果可作为该地区白蚁组成的基线数据。因此，对该保护区内区域进行全面覆盖肯定会增加在保护区内发现的白蚁物种数量。
