The genus contains a single described species, ''Zophotermes ashoki'' placed in the subfamily Prorhinotermitinae. ==History and classification== ''Zophotermes'' is known from only two fossils, the holotype adult and an additional set of wings, both of which are inclusions in transparent chunks of amber. The amber specimens, numbers "Tad-42" and "Tad-97" respectively, are both housed in the fossil collection of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany in Lucknow, India. The holotype is composed of a mostly complete adult, though some areas show distinct compression from the amber after entombment and is of indeterminate sex. Four other specimens have been referred to ''Zophotermes'', Tad-278, Tad-95, Tad-304, and SEMC-F000157. All are placed into ''Zophotermes'' with the notation that they may be specimens of ''Z. ashoki'', but all are too incomplete for a confident placement to species.〔 Cambay amber dates to between fifty and fifty-two million years old, placing it in the Early to Mid Ypresian age of the Eocene, and was preserved in a brackish shore environment. The amber formed from a dammar type resin which is produced mainly by trees in the family Dipterocarpaceae.〔 〕 Four of the six ''Zophotermes'' specimens was recovered from an the Tadkeshwar lignite mine, located in Gujarat State, during collecting trips in January 2009 while the last two were found in the same mine on a collecting trip in January 2010.〔 The fossils were first studied by paleoentomologists Michael S. Engel of the American Museum of Natural History and Hukam Singh of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleobotany.〔 Engel and Singh's 2011 type description of the new genus and species was published in the online journal ''ZooKeys''.〔 The genus name ''Zophotermes'' was coined as a combination of the Greek word ''zophos'' meaning "gloom" or "nether world" and ''Termes'', the type genus of Termitidae. The specific epithet ''ashoki'' is in honor of paleontologist Ashok Sahni, a colleague of the authors and a "sage of Indian paleontology".〔 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「Zophotermes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
