Termitaradus
''Termitaradus '' is a small tropicopolitan genus of true bugs placed in the family Termitaphididae. As is typical for the family, living members of ''Termitaradus '' are small, being an average of to , and flattened with laminae extending out from each body segment giving a round scale like appearance. The same is true for the extinct species with the exception of ''T. protera'' which reaches in length. All members of Termitaphididae are inquilines lodging in the nests of host species of termites, with ''Termitaradus '' species known only from the family Rhinotermitidae. Though considered a separate family in Aradoidea it has been suggested by Drs David Grimaldi and Michael Engel in 2008 that Termataphididae may in fact be highly derived members of Aradidae. The second genus placed in Termitaphididae, '' Termitaphis'', contains the monotypic species '' Termitaphis circumvallata'' which inhabits nests of Termitidae (termites) in Colombia.

Termitaradus Mitnicki
''Termitaradus mitnicki'' is an extinct species of true bug in the family Termitaphididae known only from early Miocene Burdigalian stage Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola. The species is known from the holotype, number "KU-DR-023", a single female specimen currently deposited in the University of Kansas Natural History Museum collections in Lawrence, Kansas, where it was studied and described by Michael S. Engel. Engel published his 2009 type description for ''T. mitnicki'' in journal ''ZooKeys'' volume number 25. The species name ''mitnicki'' honors Tyler Mitnick, nephew of the specimen donor. ''T. mitnicki'' is the third species of ''Termitaradus'' to be identified from the fossil record and the one of three species identified from Dominican amber, the other two being '' T. avitinquilinus'', described earlier in 2009 and '' T. dominicanus'' described in 2011.

Termitaradus Avitinquilinus
''Termitaradus avitinquilinus'' is an extinct species of termite bug in the family Termitaphididae known from several possibly Miocene fossils found in the Dominican Republic. ''T. avitinquilinus'' is the first species in the genus ''Termitaradus'' to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber and is one of four species from New World amber, the others being '' Termitaradus protera'', '' Termitaradus dominicanus'' and ''Termitaradus mitnicki''. History and classification ''Termitaradus avitinquilinus'' is known from a group of three fossil insects which are inclusions in transparent chunks of Dominican amber. The amber was produced by the extinct ''Hymenaea protera'', which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico. The holotype amber specimen, DR-14-425, is currently housed in the amber fossil collection of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, while the two paratype specimens are in the private Morone ...

''T. protera'' was also the first termite bug described from the fossil record. History and classification ''Termitaradus protera'' is known from a series of fossil insects which are inclusions in transparent chunks of Mexican amber. An amber specimen, in the collection of W. Weitschat of Hamburg, Germany, has a total of five ''T. protera'' individuals preserved together with portions of seven worker caste termites.
