The genus Termitodiellus Nakane, 1961 is a member of the tribe Rhyparini, which includes several morphologically similar genera. Members of Rhyparini can be readily recognized by their carinate dorsal surface, elytral apex with bulbous projection bearing trichomes, hastate posterior prosternal process, and greatly reduced tibial spurs (Howden Storey 1992, 2000; Skelley 2007; Howden 1995; Pittino 2006).
白蚁隐翅虫属(Termitodiellus Nakane,1961)是隐翅虫族的成员,该族包括几个形态相似的属。隐翅虫族的成员很容易通过其具隆线的背面、带有具毛球茎状突起的鞘翅顶端、戟形后前胸突以及大大缩小的胫距来识别(豪登和斯托里,1992年、2000年;斯凯利,2007年;豪登,1995年;皮蒂诺,2006年)。
