AF1BB92C33B05713938155CDDF70B30F.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. Holotype soldier. Colombia: Coloso, Sucre (9.5435, - 75.34884), 400 meters a. s. l., 11. JUL. 2014, R. Casalla, ADD- 2014 - 10 A. Paratypes. One additional soldier, 12 pseudergates, a pair of reproductive, same colony sample as holotype ADD- 2014 - 10 B. Voucher specimen are held at the Universidad del Norte, Colombia. Holotype soldier (ADD- 2014 - 10 A) and one reproductive paratype of Rugitermes ursulae sp. nov. (ADD- 2014 - 10 B- 1) will be deposited at the Natural History Museum of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute of Bogota (MIAvH, Colombia) and a paratype soldier (ADD- 2014 - 10 B- 2) and reproductive (ADD- 2014 - 10 B- 3) at the collection of the American Museum of Natural History, New York. (AMNH, USA). Pseudergates (' false workers') of R. ursulae will be part of the collection of termites of the Department of Chemistry and Biology at the University del Norte.	en	Casalla, Robin, Scheffrahn, Rudolf H., Korb, Judith (2021): Rugitermes ursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

AF1BB92C33B05713938155CDDF70B30F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The soldier of R. ursulae sp. nov. is the smallest of all congeneric soldiers (Fig. 2). The size of the head is remarkably small (Tables 1, 2). The pronotum width is almost twice its length, for both imago and soldier. Antennal sockets are pronounced, protruded, and rectangular in the soldier. The soldier of R. ursulae sp. nov. can be distinguished by its small subflangular elevation. The imago of R. ursulae sp. nov. is also the smallest of all Rugitermes species (Fig. 3; Tables 1, 3). The imago of R. ursulae sp. nov. has disproportionally large eyes and ocelli in relation to head dimensions, when compared with another small Rugitermes species, R. flavicinctus, which is known from Guyana (Table 1; Fig. 3). Rugitermes ursulae sp. nov. is the only Rugitermes imago with a dark-castaneous head capsule and pale-yellow coloration of the pronotum.	en	Casalla, Robin, Scheffrahn, Rudolf H., Korb, Judith (2021): Rugitermes ursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

AF1BB92C33B05713938155CDDF70B30F.taxon	description	Description. Soldier (Fig. 2, Table 2). Head capsule, in dorsal view, light yellowish orange. Occiput and posterior vertex grading from pale orange to yellow orange towards frons. Postmentum concolorous with head capsule; narrowest at posterior third (Fig. 2 C). Pronotum pale yellow, nearly transparent toward lateral margins. Mandibles dark reddish brown near base, grading to black from mid-length to tips. Third antennal article clavate, more pigmented than other articles; article formula 2 <3> 4 = 5. Pronotum twice as wide as long, anterior margin shallowly concave, anterolateral corners evenly rounded with a few bristles and scattered setae in posterolateral margins. Postmentum concolorous with head capsule; narrowest at posterior third (Fig. 2 C). Eye spots barely discernable, forming pale blotches behind antennal carinae. In dorsal view, head capsule rectangular with lateral margins parallel. Frons angled ca 30 ° below plane of vertex (Fig. 2 B); frons weakly concave with undulating rugosity in middle extending to postclypeus (Fig. 2 E). In frontal view, shallow elevations on each side of frontal margin; about a dozen medium to long setae above and lateral to each elevation (Fig. 2 D). Frontolateral ridges about 85 ° in dorsal view; corners evenly rounded (Fig. 2 E). Antennal carinae with projecting dorsal and posterior margins not exceeding head width; anterior margins below frontolateral ridges. Mandibles with weak basal humps; outer margins of blades straight from humps to distal fourth. First marginal tooth of left mandible three-fourths from tip; directed forward. First marginal tooth of right mandible at basal third. Imago (Fig. 3, Table 3). Head capsule dark castaneous; pronotum pale yellowish, contrasting sharply with head capsule. Eyes small, ellipsoid. Ocellus hyaline, nearly circular, separated from eye by one-third its diameter. Antennae articles 2 - 4 pale yellow; first darker, fifth and beyond progressively darker. Antennae with at least 10 articles (broken), formula 1> 2 = 3> 4. Head vertex and frons with few short setae. Pronotum twice as wide as long. Pronotum wider than head capsule; anterior margin straight, posterolateral corners evenly rounded with scattered bristles, posterior margin narrowly concave. Legs light brown grading to pale yellow toward tibia. Arolium present.	en	Casalla, Robin, Scheffrahn, Rudolf H., Korb, Judith (2021): Rugitermes ursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

AF1BB92C33B05713938155CDDF70B30F.taxon	distribution	Distribution and biological observations. ' Los Primates' is located in the mountains of the municipality of Coloso, Sucre. It is a regional forest reserve created in 1983, containing primary and secondary tropical dry forest. The mean annual temperature is 26.7 ° C (min: 25.8 ° C; max: 27.8 ° C) with an annual precipitation of around 1337 mm (INDERENA, 1983; Hijmans et al. 2005). The specimens of Rugitermes ursulae sp. nov. were collected from a small, dry branch (ca 12 mm in diameter) of a leafless bush (Suppl. material 2: Fig. S 1).	en	Casalla, Robin, Scheffrahn, Rudolf H., Korb, Judith (2021): Rugitermes ursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.
