''Coptotermes elisae'', the Papuan plantation termite, is a species of termite in the family Rhinotermitidae. It is native to New Guinea, Indonesia and south eastern Asia where it attacks and kills living trees and damages structural timbers. ==Description== Termites are social insects with a caste system, and individuals are either workers, soldiers or reproductives.〔 A ''Coptotermes elisae'' worker measures between in length and has a rounded head with large eyes. The pronotum is broad and both it and the head are densely hairy. The antennae have 20 to 22 flagellomeres (segments). A soldier is rather larger than a worker and has a rounded head and large incurved mandibles. Its antennae usually have 16 flagellomeres. The fontanelle, a pore gland on the forehead which secretes a milky fluid, can easily be seen from above. The pronotum is long with about seventy setae (bristles), mostly near the margins, and the mesothorax, metathorax and abdomen are also densely bristly. These features help distinguish this species from other termites found in the same region.
