| has gloss | eng: Mastotermes darwiniensis, common names Giant Northern Termite and Darwin Termite, is a termite species found only in northern Australia. It is a very peculiar animal, the most primitive termite alive . As such, it shows uncanny similarities to certain cockroaches, the termites' closest relatives. These similarities include the anal lobe of the wing and the laying of eggs in bunches, rather than singly. It is the only living member of its genus Mastotermes and its family Mastotermitidae, though numerous fossil taxa are known. The termites were traditionally placed in the Exopterygota, but such an indiscriminate treatment makes that group a paraphyletic grade of basal neopterans. Thus, the cockroaches, termites and their relatives are nowadays placed in a clade called Dictyoptera. |

| has gloss | spa: La termita gigante del norte de Australia (Mastotermes darwiniensis) es una especie de termita que sólo se encuentra en el norte de Australia. Es un animal muy peculiar, la termita viva más primitiva existente. Como tal, presenta extrañas similitudes con ciertas cucarachas, los parientes más cercanos de las termitas, como la presencia de un lóbulo anal en el ala y la puesta de huevos en montones, en lugar de uno a uno. |
