With 21 genera and 419 species, it is the second most diverse termite family after the Termitidae. The majority of members are functionally specialists of sound wood - though not necessarily dry wood. Hence, while not all Kalotermitidae taxa are commonly referred to as drywood termites, the name is commonly used to refer to the family itself. The family contains notable pest taxa such as Cryptotermes brevis and Incisitermes minor. Description Kalotermitidae vary significantly in size (3mm - 20mm), however all castes possess pronotums as wide or wider than the head, often flatly arched; a morphology atypical to extant termites except for the alates of Mastotermes and thus characteristic of the family. Workers and soldiers are often compact or tubular in general appearance. The legs of Kalotermitidae possess a tarsal formula of 4-4-4, each leg possessing three tibi ...
