Super Rare Termitaphididae with Mastotermes Electrodominicus

According to Grimaldi-Engel (American Museum Novitates n° 3619, 2008), Termitaphididae
are highly modified Aradidae, possibly derivated from the subfamily Merizinae.
All the described species of termitaphididae have been found only in nests of termites.
Fossil Termitaphididae in dominican amber are very rare and this beautiful specimen
is one of the only three preserved with its host, a worker Termite Mastotermes Electrodominicus.
