Abstract
A key to the females of the 28 species currently recognized is provide d, along with a provisional key to the males of four species. Newly re cognized genera are Brevrostrophora Disney (type species, B. fuscoterg a Disney), Horologiphora Disney (type species H. sinensis Disney), Pro nudiphora Disney (type species, P. orientalis (Disney & Peterson), Rid iduliphora Disney (type species, R. regalis Disney), Septemineophora D isney (type species, S. selangorensis Disney, Siluphora Disney (type s pecies S. microtibiae Disney), and Volvectiphora Disney (type species, V. plicatura Disney. The following new species are described: Brevros trophora fuscoterga Disney (Taiwan), Ceylonoxenia setipleura Disney (C hina), Clitelloxenia antenuda Disney (China), C. audreyae Disney (Taiw an), C. inflatibia Disney (Malaysia), C. octosetae Disney (Malaysia), C. perdosetae Disney (Thailand), C. thailandae Disney (Thailand), Horo logiphora malayae Disney (Malaysia), H. sinensis Disney (China), Pronu diphora coxoloba Disney (Malaysia), P. nanocoxoloba Disney (Malaysia), Rididuliphora regalis Disney (Malaysia), Septemineophora selangorensi s Disney (Malaysia), Siluphora microtibiae Disney (Malaysia), Volvecti phora plicatura Disney (Malaysia). Ceylonoxenia heimi(Wasmann) comb. n ov. results from the synonymy of the genus Indoxenia Schmitz being syn onymized with Ceylonoxenia, Pronudiphora orientalis (Disney gr Peterso n) comb. nov. and three new synonyms are proposed. All the termite hos t records are summarized.
