The new tree of life of termite families and subfamilies. Each branching indicates a split between families and subfamilies from their last common ancestor. Red branches are subfamilies that were all previously defined as Termitinae, whereas blue branches were previously defined as Rhinotermitidae. Termite photos courtesy of T. F. Carrijo, P.
