What is "termitaradus"

'Termitaradus ' is a small tropicopolitan genus of true bugs placed in the family Termitaphididae. As is typical for the family, living members of ''Termitaradus '' are small, being an average of to , and flattened with laminae extending out from each body segment giving a round scale like appearance. The same is true for the extinct species with the exception of T. protera which reaches in length. All members of Termitaphididae are inquilines lodging in the nests of host species of termites, with ''Termitaradus '' species known only from the family Rhinotermitidae. Though considered a separate family in Aradoidea it has been suggested by Drs David Grimaldi and Michael Engel in 2008 that Termataphididae may in fact be highly derived members of Aradidae. The second genus placed in Termitaphididae, Termitaphis, contains the monotypic species Termitaphis circumvallata which inhabits nests of Termitidae species termintes in Colombia.
