An analysis of termite diversity from six sites of primary forest in Ecuadorian Amazonia is presented. This is based upon .25 hectare plot samples. Twelve genera were found in terra firma and one was found in seasonally flooded swamp forest. Nasutitermes was the only genera found in the seasonally flooded forest and based on morphological characteristics, all nests found were the same species. Nasutitermes was the dominant group, both in abundance and number of species in both terra firma and swamp forest. The most diversity in the plots was found in the plots that were not directly on the river floodplain but just outside of the floodplain. Five different genera were found in these plots. Nest structure varied between each species, especially in Nasutitermes. Nests were also sampled along major edge habitat where Nasutitermes was the only genus present. There is a great deal more diversity in the terra firma then in the seasonally flooded forest. The genera Aparatermes and Embiratermes had a distinct range of nest height on host trees while most groups had a more nebulous range of location on host trees.
