Aplitermes

Forest genus of the Congo rain forest block, not having been recorded west of the Dahomey gap.

Similar nesting habits to Crenetermes, except that it does not build on to the mounds that it inhabits. Collins suggets that in lowland rain forest in Cameroon, Apiitermes may build its own low mounds.
