Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The name Bandeiratermes is proposed in honor of our late colleague and friend Adelmar Gomes Bandeira, a Brazilian termitologist, one of the first to study the Amazonian termites, and an excellent collector who initiated and contributed significantly to termite collections in Manaus, AM (INPA); Belém, PA (Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi); and later in João Pessoa, PB (Universidade Federal da Paraíba).
