Abstract
Noirotitermes is a monotypic termite genus known only from Brazil. Noirotitermes noiroti was described based on a single sample from Piauí, Brazil, with only a few soldiers and several workers. Noirotitermes seems to be related to Macuxitermes Cancello & Bandeira 1992, another poorly known monotypic genus of Syntermitinae.
