Fig. 3 in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 3. Imago and worker mandible terminology. Left mandible on the left side, A = apical tooth, m1 = first marginal, m2 = second marginal (reduced to a wave), m3 = third marginal, p = premolar tooth, MP = molar prominence (the molar tooth is hidden behind the molar prominence), MA = molar posterior acute apophysis. Right mandible on the right, A = apical tooth, m1 = first marginal, m2 = second marginal, M = molar tooth, MP = molar prominence.
Fig. 2 in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 2. Counting of the antennal articles. A. Six proximal articles of a C. speciosus Sjöstedt, 1924 soldier. B. Proximal articles of another C. speciosus soldier (same colony); the "third", unfinished article does not bear any prominent setae (arrow) and is counted as one half; there are thus 5.5 articles shown in this figure.
Fig. 5 in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 5. Photo standardisation, the arrows point to the spots which have to be in focus simultaneously. A. Dorsal view of the head capsule of an imago ('photo IHCDV'). B. Lateral view of the head capsule of an imago ('photo IHCLV'). C. Dorsal view of the pronotum of an imago ('photo IPronot'). D. Oblique view of the head capsule of an imago ('photo IHCObV'). E. Dorsal view of the head capsule of a soldier ('photo SHCDV'). F. Lateral view of the head capsule of a soldier ('photo SHCLV'). G. Dorsal view of the pronotum of a soldier ('photo SPronot'). H. Ventral view of the head capsule of a soldier ('photo SHCVV'). I. Ventral view of the mandibles of a soldier ('photo SMandVV'). J. Hind tibia and tarsus of a soldier ('photo STibia'). K. Dorsal view of the head capsule of a worker ('photo WHCDV'). L. Lateral view of the head capsule of a worker ('photo WHCLV'). All the drawings are issued from C. fungifaber (Sjöstedt, 1896) type material (not to the same scale).
Fig. 4. A in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 4. A. Enteric valve (of C. oblectatus Harris, 1958), seen in profile with simplified pilosity. In this species, the primary cushions PC3 and PC5 bear not only spatulae (sp) but also crests (cr) near the downstream end. B. Section through an enteric valve, seen from upstream. Sands' numbering of the cushions is inside; present numbering of the primary (PC1 to PC6) and secondary (SC12 to SC61) cushions outside. C. Measurements on PC1: WVP1UL = length of the upstream spiny part (it starts at the first spine and ends at the first lateral supporting bristle); WVP1ML = length of the middle spiny part (it starts at the first lateral supporting bristle and ends at the last lateral supporting bristle); WVP1DL = length of the downstream bristly part (it starts at the last lateral supporting bristle); WVP1W = maximal width. D. Measurements on PC4 (one of the PCs with spatula in the sankurensis valve pattern): WVP4SL = length of the downstream spatula part (this is also the part that sticks out of the valve when in function). Other symbols as in figure C. E. Measurements on SC12 in the case of a wide and homogeneous cushion (in the muneris valve pattern). F. Measurements on SC12 in the case of a heterogeneous spearheadshaped cushion (in the bilobatodes valve pattern). G. Measurements on SC12 in the case of a narrow cushion that becomes wider and fuzzy in its downstream part (in the oculatus valve pattern); in E, F and G, WVS12L = length of the secondary cushion (between the most extreme spines or bristles), WVS12W = width of the secondary cushion (between the most extreme spines or bristles in its upstream third).

Female-biased sex allocation and lack of inbreeding avoidance in Cubitermes termites
<p>Sexually-reproducing organisms face a strong selective pressure to find a mate and ensure reproduction. An important criterion during mate-selection is to avoid closely-related individuals and subsequent potential fitness costs of resulting inbred offspring. Inbreeding avoidance can be active through kin recognition during mate choice, or passive through differential male and female-biased sex ratios, which effectively prevents sib-mating. In addition, sex allocation, or the resources allotted to male and female offspring, can impact mating and reproductive success. Here, we investigate mate choice, sex ratios, and sex allocation in dispersing reproductives (alates) from colonies of the termite <i>Cubitermes</i> <i>tenuiceps</i>. Termites have a short time to select a mate for life, which should intensify any fitness consequences of inbreeding. However, alates did not actively avoid inbreeding through mate choice via kin recognition based on genetic or environmental cues. Furthermore, the majority of colonies exhibited a female-biased sex ratio, and none exhibited a male-bias, indicating that differential bias does not reduce inbreeding. Sex allocation was generally female-biased, as females also were heavier, but the potential fitness effect of this costly strategy remains unclear. The bacterium <i>Wolbachia</i>, known in other insects to parasitically distort sex allocation toward females, was present within all alates. While <i>Wolbachia</i> is commonly associated with termites, parasitism has yet to be demonstrated, warranting further study of the nature of the symbiosis. Both the apparent lack of inbreeding avoidance and potential maladaptive sex allocation implies possible negative effects on mating and fitness.</p>
