More information
The “mandibulate nasutes” comprise a group of termite genera endemic to the Neotropical region. Fourteen genera are recognized within this group -Syntermes-Group: ( Armitermes, Cahuallitermes, Cornitermes, Curvitermes, Cyrilliotermes, Embiratermes, Ibitermes, Labiotermes, Macuxitermes, Noirotitermes, Paracurvitermes, Procornitermes, Rhynchotermes and Syntermes ), ranging from south of Mexico (Cahuallitermes) to northern Argentina (Procornitermes, Syntermes). The group is morphologically characterized by having soldiers with a large frontal gland opening, situated at the frontal tube apex, and functional mandibles. In the past, the mandibulate nasutes were considered an ancestral group of Nasutitermitinae but recent studies highlighted an evolutionary history independent of true nasutes (Noirot 2001, Ohkuma et al. 2004, Inward et al. 2007). Engel and Krishna (2004) proposed Syntermitinae as a subfamily of Termitidae including four of the thirteen genera of mandibulate nasutes, and they affirm that the other mandibulate genera of Nasutitermitinae “may eventually be included” in the subfamily. The mandibulate nasutes are found only in Neotropics, and show a range of development of the nasus (from Armitermes to Rhynchotermes).
