The morphology discrepancies between the different forms of the same individual is probably an important factor for identification of the species. Besides, the majority of the taxonomic keys for termitophilous species, probably due to lack of material, do not consider characteristics of stenogastric individuals (Casey 1889;

Additionally, known morphological changes resulting from the secondary sclerotization process are a rule rather than an exception, and radical differences in morphology are expected.

Subsequently, it is essential to know that the secondary sclerotization process undermines characters that may be useful only for identifying physogastrics. It is recommended to use characters that are expected to be conservative at both stages, and here it is believed those related to chaetotaxy are continuous among the adult semaphoronts of a given species. The less the chaetotaxy is addressed in a given description the greater is the difficulty in determining the species of its stenogastric variation.</paragraph>

beetle shows a particularly curious behavior: frequently displaying and pulling his wings using the hind legs. The absence of intersegmental membranes in the abdomen, coupled with the absence of secondary sclerotization that surrounds the outermost part of the body is probably responsible for this action. The bioassay revealed no statistical differences in frequency of wing pulling in the presence of termites (Wilcoxon signed rank V=20.5, P&gt;0.05), and

The high agility and faster movements can be explained by the absence of a greatly developed abdomen that carries a larva inside, increasing its weight and being the cause of the slowness and fragility of the beetles. Similar agility is present in species of limuloid beetles, which prefer to go effectively unnoticed within their host society (
