Anenteotermescherubimi sp. n., a tiny dehiscent termite from Central Africa (Termitidae: Apicotermitinae).


ABSTRACT: Anenteotermescherubimi Scheffrahn, sp. n. is described from workers and male imagos collected in Cameroon and Republic of the Congo. This is the smallest soldierless termite known from Africa. As with many soldierless and soil-feeding termite species, the enteric valve morphology is a robust and essential diagnostic character for An.cherubimi. Preserved workers display pre-autothysis morphology and the effects of abdominal autothysis.
