Remarks. The species was based on several specimens found in North Sumatra, in fungus gardens of Odontotermes takensis Ahmad, 1965 . It was not reported after its description while V. termitophila Champion, 1927 is widely distributed and has been referred to many times (see OGAWA & MAETO 2015). The colour pattern of the abdomen used as one of the diagnostic characters proves to be unreliable in the examined material.
