Our knowledge of the phylogenetics and systematics of the group have traditionally lagged behind those of other important insect groups, but significant progress has now been made. Here we review recent phylogenetic studies of relationships both among termites,

Here, we first review the status of working individuals throughout the Isoptera, insisting on the need for a consistent terminology.
