Abstract
Amitermes amicki n. sp. is described from soldiers collected on Aruba. For comparison, the soldier of A. beaumonti is redescribed from specimens colle cted in Mexico, Belize, and Cuba. Amitermes amicki is the eighth congener t hus far described from the Neotropical Region. A technique is reported to e nhance the visual clarity of digitized scanning electron micrographs.
