Duplidentitermes

Although Sands (1998) records Duplidentitermes as being only from Congo (Brazzaville?), it has also been found reasonably commonly in southern Cameroon, predominantly in soil pits, but also in association with Cubitermes mounds. Recorded as having a nest system with oval chambers a few centimetres in extent connected by narrow galleries. The galleries are lined with faecal soil with a shagreened appearance. Group IV feeder.
