摘要：

Amitermes amicki n. sp. is described from soldiers collected on Aruba. For comparison, the soldier of A. beaumonti is redescribed from specimens collected in Mexico, Belize, and Cuba. Amitermes amicki is the eighth congener thus far described from the Neotropical Region. A technique is reported to enhance the visual clarity of digitized scanning electron micrographs.
