Coptotermes
''Coptotermes'' is a genus of termites in the family Rhinotermitidae. Many of the roughlty 71 species are economically destructive pests. The genus is thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. Worker termites from this genus forage underground and move about in roofed tunnels that they build along the surface. In Australia, ''Coptotermes'' colonies sometimes host a parasitic genus of termites, '' Ahamitermes''. The host and the parasite dwell in separate parts of the mound nest and are mutually antagonistic. The ''Ahamitermes'' species live in the innermost parts of the nest and feed on the "carton" material with which the galleries are lined, which consists of soil particles, chewed wood, and cellulose, bound together with saliva and faeces. They are thus dependent on their hosts for both their food and their home and are not found in any other situations.

Coptotermes Gestroi
''Coptotermes gestroi'', the Asian subterranean termite is a small species of termite that lives underground. Both this species and the Formosan subterranean termite, (''Coptotermes formosanus'') are destructive pests native to Asia, but have spread to other parts of the world including the United States. In Asia, this species is known as the Philippine milk termite. The termite species ''Coptotermes havilandi'' was determined by Kirton and Brown in 2003 to be identical to ''Coptotermes gestroi'', so following the principle of priority, the older name is now used. Distribution ''C. gestroi'' is endemic to Southeast Asia, but has spread to many other parts of the world over the course of the last century. It reached the[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Formosan Subterranean Termite
The Formosan termite (''Coptotermes formosanus'') is a species of termite local to southern China and introduced to Taiwan (formerly known as Formosa, where it gets its name), Japan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, and the continental United States. The Formosan termite is often nicknamed the super-termite because of its destructive habits due to the large size of its colonies and its ability to consume wood at a rapid rate. Populations of these termites have become large enough to appear on New Orleans' weather radars. A mature Formosan colony can consume as much as 13 ounces of wood a day (about 400 g) and can severely damage a structure in as little as three months. Formosan termites infest a wide variety of structures (including boats and high-rise condominiums) and can damage trees. In the United States, along with another species, ''Coptotermes gestroi'', introduced from Southeast Asia, they are responsible for tremendous damage to property resulting in large treatment ...

Coptotermes Acinaciformis
''Coptotermes acinaciformis'' is a species of subterranean termite in the family Rhinotermitidae native to Australia. Termites are social insects and build a communal nest. In the case of ''C. acinaciformis'', this is either in the root crown of a tree or underground. From this, a network of galleries extends through the nearby soil, enabling the workers to forage in the surrounding area without emerging on the surface of the ground. This termite can cause substantial damage to trees and the wooden parts of buildings. The colony ''C. acinaciformis'' builds its nest at the base of a tree trunk or underground, and may form a mound. Subterranean passages extend from the nest up to and allow the workers to access other sources of wood on which to feed. Subsidiary nests are often built in such places as the cavities in the walls of buildings, but only in places where some moisture exists, perhaps from a leaking pipe. A large colony may contain more than a million termites. Where the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coptotermes Heimi
''Coptotermes heimi'' is a species of termite in the family Rhinotermitidae. It is found in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and lives wholly underground. Distribution and habitat ''Coptotermes heimi'' occurs in Pakistan, the Indian states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, and in Bangladesh. It is a serious pest in both agricultural and urban areas, but being a subterranean termite, its presence is not always apparent. Besides attacking logs and structuralt timbers, it can attack living trees, hollowing out the centre. Ecology ''Coptotermes heimi'' make subterranean tunnels in order to forage for suitable food sources. If the surface soil is either too hot or too cold, the termites move deeper into the soil, but when conditions are equable, the foraging tunnels are about beneath the surface. The direction in which the termites dig the tunnels is influenced by the humidity of the soil, and the presence of rotten wood also acts as an attractant. Many termites work together to ...

Coptotermes Elisae
''Coptotermes elisae'', the Papuan plantation termite, is a species of termite in the family Rhinotermitidae. It is native to New Guinea, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia, where it attacks and kills living trees and damages structural timbers. Description Termites are social insects with a caste system, and individuals are either workers, soldiers, or reproductives. A ''C. elisae'' worker measures between in length and has a rounded head with large eyes. The pronotum is broad and both the head and it are densely hairy. The antennae have 20 to 22 flagellomeres (segments). A soldier is rather larger than a worker and has a rounded head and large incurved mandibles. Its antennae usually have 16 flagellomeres. The fontanelle, a pore gland on the forehead that secretes a milky fluid, can easily be seen from above. The pronotum is long with about 70 setae (bristles), mostly near the margins, and the mesothorax, metathorax, and abdomen are also densely bristly. These features help di ...

Coptotermes Lacteus
''Coptotermes lacteus'', the milk termite, is a species of termite in the family Rhinotermitidae, native to Australia. These termites are social insects and build a communal nest in the form of a mound. From this, a network of galleries extends through the nearby soil, enabling the workers to forage in the surrounding area without emerging on the surface of the ground. Description Several species of termites are found in Australia and they are difficult to distinguish from one another. ''C. lacteus'' is most likely to be confused with '' C. acinaciformis'' or '' C. frenchi''. The soldiers of ''C. frenchi'' and ''C. lacteus'' have pear-shaped heads, while the heads of ''C. acinaciformis'' soldiers are more rectangular. ''C. lacteus'' soldiers at long are slightly smaller in size than the other two species. Distribution and habitat The mound nests of ''C. lacteus'' are smaller than those of the magnetic termite ''Amitermes meridionalis''. The outer layer is thick and hard and insi ...
