Introduction

With63generaand643livingspeciesworldwide(Constantino, 2019),theTermitinaeisaheterogeneousgroupoftermites, with-outdiagnosticcharacterssupportingitasacladeamongTermitidae subfamilies(Bourguignon et al.,2017). The subfamilyis repre-sented in theNeotropical region by 20 genera, occurringfrom thesouthernUnitedStates(GnathamitermesLight,1932;

Hoploter-mesLight,1933)tosouthernArgentina(OnkotermesConstantino,

2002). Three of these genera are cosmopolitan (Amitermes

Silvestri, 1901, Microcerotermes Silvestri, 1901, and Termes

Linnaeus,1758).

The South and Central American genus Cylindrotermes

Holmgren, 1906 was proposed based on specimens collected

inBolivia,duringtheNordenskiöldexpedition(1904–1905).One centurylater,Rochaand Cancello(2007)revisedthegenusand described three new species, based on the external morphol-ogy of the soldier and worker castes from Brazilian samples, and redescribed four of the five previously described species (exceptthetype speciesCylindrotermes nordenskioldi Holmgren, 1906).Noirot(2001,Fig.12d)illustratedanunidentifiedspecies of Cylindrotermes, with brief comments on internal structures. With a total of eight nominal species now recognized within Cylindrotermes,thegeographicaldistributionofthegenusranges

(Mirandaetal.,2004).

Hoplotermesisanuncommonmonotypictermitegenus,with Hoplotermes amplus Light, 1933 as the type-species, described fromtheexternalmorphology ofthesoldierand worker castes of specimens from western Mexico; the imago caste remains unknown. The gut anatomy of Hoplotermes has never been described.ThegenushasbeenrecordedinCostaRica,Guatemala and Nicaragua (Krishna et al., 2013). Colonies of this species are found in wood, under rocks, or cow dung; they build earthen chambers and passageways in, on and near attacked

wood(Light,1933).

Characters of the worker caste digestive tube have come to be widely recognized as key resources for taxonomy over the last six decades (Noirot and Kovoor, 1958; Sands, 1992,

1998; Noirot,2001), and theirdescriptionhasbeenmandatory

for taxonomic studiesin thelast two decades.Although many generaare reasonablywell representedinmuseums,the inter-nal morphology of many species is still unknown. To help to filltheselacunae,weprovidedetaileddescriptionsand illustra-tionsof theworker gutof seven species of Cylindrotermes and H. amplus, including the gut coiling in situ and the cuticular ornamentationofthegizzard,entericvalve,andfirstproctodeal segment.

Discussion

NoirotandKovoor(1958)proposedtwogroupswithin

Termiti-nae,definedbytheanatomyofthegut:theThoracotermesandthe Termes,basedonlyonAfricantaxa.Later,Noirot(2001),withalarge number of specimens fromdifferentregions, distinguishedfive groups:thepantropicalTermesgroup,theOrientalPericapritermes group,thepantropicalAmitermesgroup,theEthiopian Cubiter-mesgroup[theThoracotermesgroupofNoirotandKovoor(1958)], and the African Foraminitermes group (hypothetical new sub-family). Engeletal. (2009) formallyraisedthelast two groups to subfamily rank, the Cubitermitinae and Foraminitermitinae. These subfamilies were supported as natural clades in studies

by Inward et al. (2007) and Bourguignon et al. (2017). Rocha

etal.(2019) recognizedin theAmericanregion,theAmitermes

group, comprising the genera Amitermes, Gnathamitermes, and Hoplotermes;theCavitermes-Termesgroup,withtheCavitermes subgroup, comprising Cavitermes Emerson, 1925,

Cornicapriter-mes Emerson, 1950, Dihoplotermes Araujo, 1961, Divinotermes

Carrijo and Cancello, 2011, Palmitermes Hellemans and Roisin,

2017,andSpinitermesWasmann,1897,andtheTermessubgroup, comprisingInquilinitermesMathews,1977,andTermes;the Neo-capritermes group,comprising Neocapritermes Holmgren, 1912, PlanicapritermesEmerson,1949(inSnyder,1949),and

Crepititer-mesEmerson,1925;andtheOrthognathotermesgroup,comprising

Dentispicotermes Emerson, 1949 (in Snyder, 1949) and Orthog-nathotermes Holmgren, 1910; while separating Cylindrotermes, Genuotermes, Microcerotermes, and Onkotermes as truly distinct genera.

Thepresentstudyexaminedindetailtheinternalmorphologyof theworkercasteofCylindrotermesandHoplotermes, complement-ingtheiroriginaldescriptions.Basedonthisnewinformation,we considerthatCylindrotermescannotbeassignedtotheAmitermes group (sensu Noirot, 2001). Evidence from the gut morphol-ogysupportsCylindrotermesasarelativeoftheEthiopiangenus Cephalotermes,ahypothesispreviouslyadvancedbyInwardetal.

(2007)andBourguignonetal.(2017),intheirphylogenetic

recon-structions.

Hoplotermes has not yet been included in any evolutionary scheme, but based on our morphological observations, it may berelatedtotheAmitermes–Drepanotermeslineage.Toovercome thislimitationandtoreachfirmconclusionsaboutthekinshipof Hoplotermes,westronglyrecommendedthatthistermitinegenus beincludedinfuturephylogeneticanalyses.Authorcontributions
