Abstract

ABSTRACT The subterranean, mandibulate termite genus Amitermes Silvestri (Blattodea: Isoptera: Termitidae) is hitherto known from India by only two species, Amitermes belli Desneux and Amitermes baluchistanicus Akhtar. This paper describes a new species Amitermes kavarattiensis Rituparna, Rajmohana & Amina sp. nov. collected from the Lakshadweep Islands, India. Morphological comparisons with both the known species are provided. A dichotomous key to identify all the five Amitermes species of Oriental region is also appended herewith. Additionally, three sequences of the partial fragment of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene of the new species and five sequences of Amitermes belli have been generated for the first time. A phylogenetic tree with available sequences of Amitermes species is provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E9743114-7B9E-4AE4-8750-90F86FC49EEE

印度Lakshadweep岛下颚白蚁Amitermes kavarattiensis sp. nov.一新种(白蚁总目:等翅目:白蚁科)

印度的地下下颚白蚁属Amitermes Silvestri(白蚁总目:等翅目:白蚁科)迄今仅知两种:Amitermes belli Desneux和Amitermes baluchisticus Akhtar。本文描述了一新种Amitermes kavarattiensis Rituparna, Rajmohana & Amina sp. 11 .，摘自印度Lakshadweep群岛。形态学比较与这两个已知的物种提供。本文还附有一份鉴定东方地区所有五种菊科植物的二分键。此外，还首次生成了该新种线粒体16S rRNA基因部分片段的3个序列和Amitermes belli的5个序列。提供了一棵含有菊科植物可用序列的系统发育树。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E9743114-7B9E-4AE4-8750-90F86FC49EEE

期刊介绍： Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
