Tenuirostritermes
Tenuirostritermes is a genus of higher termites in the family Termitidae, subfamily Nasutitermitinae. The genus comprises approximately five described species distributed primarily in the Americas. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated, slender mandibles and are classified within the nasute termite group, though they lack the pronounced nasal tube found in some related genera. The genus was established by Holmgren in 1912 based on distinctive morphological features of the soldier caste.
