Mastotermes is a genus of termites. The sole living species is Mastotermes darwiniensis, found only in northern Australia. A number of extinct taxa are known from fossils. It is a very peculiar insect, the most primitive termite alive. As such, it shows notable similarities to certain cockroaches, the termites' closest relatives. These similarities include the anal lobe of the wing and the laying of eggs in bunches, rather than singly. The termites were traditionally placed in the Exopterygota, but such an indiscriminate treatment makes that group a paraphyletic grade of basal neopterans. Thus, the cockroaches, termites and their relatives are nowadays placed in a clade called Dictyoptera.

  • Mastotermes est un genre de termites. La seule espèce vivante du genre est (en), que l'on trouve uniquement dans le nord de l'Australie. Un certain nombre de taxons éteints sont connus à partir de fossiles. Il s'agit du termite vivant le plus primitif. A ce titre, il présente des similitudes notables avec certaines blattes, les plus proches parents des termites. Ces similitudes comprennent le lobe anal de l'aile et la ponte des œufs en grappes plutôt qu'individuellement. (fr)

  • Mastotermes es un género de termita con una sola especie viviente, Mastotermes darwiniensis, que sólo se encuentra en el norte de Australia.​ El género muestra similitudes extrañas con las cucarachas, los parientes más cercanos de las termitas, como la presencia de un lóbulo anal en el ala y la puesta de huevos en montones, en lugar de uno a uno.

  • 澳白蟻屬隸屬於蜚蠊目澳白蟻科,其下包含單一現生物種達爾文澳白蟻(Mastotermes darwiniensis),原生於澳洲北部。該屬有不少的化石紀錄。白蟻與蜚蠊的親緣關係最為接近,達爾文澳白蟻為現生最原始的白蟻,它們和一些特定的蟑螂物種擁有顯著的相似特徵,包括前翅臀區的相似,及一次產下一團卵而非單顆。早期將白蟻置於外翅總目之下,但這沒有意義的分類階級不過是從中取出一個並系群,因此,蟑螂、白蟻及近緣物種後來被放置於網翅總目之下。 達爾文澳白蟻腸道內有許多共生性的原生生物和細菌,其中原生生物 只在達爾文澳白蟻的腸道中出現。 (zh)
