Description
Bandeiratermes tellustris, new combination
Ibitermes tellustris Constantino, 1990: 7–9 (soldier and worker), figs 9–18.
Type Material. Holotype soldier, deposited at MPEG, from Brazil, Amazonas state, Japurá River, 10 Km downstream from the town of Maraã, 02.x.1988, R. Constantino coll. (not examined), and soldier and worker paratypes from the same holotype colony (examined).
Imago. Unknown.
Soldier and worker. Described by Constantino (1990), additional pictures of the soldier are provided herein (Fig. 16).
Digestive tube (Fig. 17). As described for the genus, the gut conformation is the same as Ban. silvestrii, differing only in size (slightly smaller) and by the mesenteric tongue width (slightly wider). We did not have sufficient specimens to prepare the gizzard armature, but the enteric valve is illustrated in the original description.
Material examined. BRAZIL. Amazonas: Maraã, 12.x.1988, R.Constantino (9448, soldier and worker paratypes).
