This species is named in honor of our friend Dr. Lu Qiu, who collected the new species and donated it to us for study.</p><p>Biology. The holotype was caught by the light trap (Figs 43–45).

The specimen in this study resembles Xenotermes feai Wasmann, 1896 from Myanmar and Thailand in the general appearance, but has different shape of the pronotum, especially the strongly pointed hind corners. However, due to the male being unknown, we herein report this female specimen as Xenotermes sp.</p><p>Biology. The female specimen was collected by the light trap (Fig. 42).

Ziaelas formosanus was originally described from Taiwan and Mazu Island (Fujian Province), China, and is herein newly recorded from mainland China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Jiangsu Provinces). The extrenal morphology and genitalia of the above specimens correspond with those of Z. formosanus as illustrated by MATSUMOTO et al. (2016), and we hence consider the specimens from the mainland conspecific.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0381C22DFF804F15FC5CFD29FD937E13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
