A key for the identification of neotropical termite genera is presented, with illustrations of representatives of most genera. The key is chiefly based on the external morphology of soldiers, except for the soldierless Apicotermitinae and a few genera of Termitidae, where worker characters were used, especially gut morphology. Distribution maps are presented for some genera. Relevant taxonomic works and keys to species are indicated for each genus, when available.
