短翅土白蚁（Cryptotermes brevis）是一种常见的结构木材和遮蔽木材的害虫，在许多非亚洲热带地区。到目前为止，没有地方流行的地方，证实了再生的户外人口，是已知的。对智利北方沿海沙漠和秘鲁利马附近的白蚁调查，获得61个C.从19个地方的23种不同的本地和外来物种的宿主木材中提取的短刺。本文综述了中国竹节虫的分类学和地理学历史。brevis和建议的气候和生物因素，有利于或限制C。短分布我们还提出了一个方案，涉及后哥伦比亚释放C。在西班牙帝国早期到现在的时间里，船上的虫害和受虫害的木材的移动导致了brevis。
Cryptotermes brevis is a common pest of structural lumber and sheltered wood in much of the non-Asian tropics. Until now, no endemic locality, as confirmed by regenerating outdoor populations, was known. A termite survey of the northern coastal desert of Chile and the vicinity of Lima, Peru, yielded 61 outdoor populations of C. brevis taken from 23 different native and exotic species of host woods at 19 localities. We review the taxonomic and biogeographic history of C. brevis and suggest climatic and biological factors that favor or limit C. brevis distribution. We also propose a scenario implicating a post-Colombian release of C. brevis by shipboard infestations and the movement of infested wood during the early Spanish Empire to the present time.
