Synopsis
Excerpt from Genera Insectorum<br/><br/>Termiten qui est le travail d'ensemble fondamental sur ces insectes. Sans doute, cette oeuvre est assez ancienne, et elle n'est guère pratique pour la détermination des espèces, mais c'est néanmoins une base sûre, car il y a relativement peu de chose à changer à ses groupements génériques établis sur un matériel très restreint. Quelque soixante espèces, alors que nous en connaissons aujourd'hui plus de 300!
