Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
From Greek 𝜄𝜎o𝜍, isos, equal, even; 𝛾𝜈𝛼𝜃o𝜍, gnathos, mandible; and Latin* termes*, termite. Probably refers either to the resemblance between both mandibles, or to the fact that their diameter varies little between both ends, as it is the case in the type species I. minitabundus.
