【摘要】 <正> 家白蚁及黄胸白蚁同属于等翅目(Isoptera)犀白蚁科(Rhinotermitidae),是生活在木材及土下的种类,危害十分严重,国内的分布区域很广,南起海南岛,北至长江流域一带,向西可达四川、云南诸省,东部沿海及台湾等省均有其足迹。因而尤其伟、平正明、曹沄、吴代忠等(1958)将长头白蚁 Reticulitermes、泌乳白蚁 Coptotermes、黑翅白蚁Odon-totermes 及大白蚁 Macrotermes 列为四个优势属,而且基本上可以代表我国白蚁的面貌。更多还原

【Abstract】 With the subterranean termites, there are three types of reproductive castes, namely, macrop-terous or winged forms, brachypterous or short-winged forms and apterous or wingless forms.At all times, there is present in any normal colony at least one pair of breeding adult reproduc-tives, known as the macropterous king and queen. In the colony of Coptotermes formosanusShiraki, three brachypterous queens and one brachypterous king were discovered in a royal cellat Hangchow. In the colony of Reticulitermes flaviceps Oshima, besides the original or primarypair, we found more than fifty brachypterous queens and few apterous queens in the vicinity ofHangchow. All these types of reproductive castes of the two species mentioned above are fully describedand illustrated.更多还原
