Termitinae

Termitinae is a subfamily of termites;[2] Amitermes and certain other genera (indicated here with a *) have previously been placed in the Amitermitinae, with some workers arguing that the latter have morphologically distinct characteristics and "some important attributes that affect soil".

The genus Drepanotermes is also known as the Australian harvester termite.[3][4] It has been implicated in theories of the creation of the phenomenon known as "fairy circles" (circular patches of land barren of plants) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.[5][6]
