''Ahamitermes'' is a genus of termites in the family Termitidae containing four species, all of which have a parasitic relationship with termites in the genus ''Coptotermes''. The host and the parasite dwell in separate parts of the mound nest and are mutually antagonistic. The ''Ahamitermes'' live in the innermost parts of the nest and feed on the "carton" material with which the galleries are lined which consists of soil particles, chewed wood and cellulose, bound together with saliva and faeces. They are thus dependent on their host for both their food and their home and are not found in any other situations. ==Species== *''Ahamitermes nidicola'' Mjoberg - Queensland *''Ahamitermes hillii'' Nicholls - Southwestern Australia *''Ahamitermes inclusus'' Gay - Western Australia *''Ahamitermes pumilus'' Hill - New South Wales and Western Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahamitermes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
